Harmonizing Outcomes Measures for Eczema (HOME) roadmap for the development and implementation of Core outcome sets

14 October 2014: Core outcome sets (COSs) are consensus-derived minimum sets of outcomes to be assessed in a specific situation. COSs are being increasingly developed to limit outcome-reporting bias, allow comparisons across trials, and strengthen clinical decision making. Despite the increasing interest in outcomes research, methods to develop COSs have not yet been standardized. In a recent JID paper, Dr. Hywel Williams and colleagues present the Harmonizing Outcomes Measures for Eczema (HOME) roadmap for the development and implementation of COSs, which was developed on the basis of their experience in the standardization of outcome measurements for atopic eczema. Join presenter Robert Dellavalle as he speaks with Dr. Hywel Williams about the HOME roadmap.
