Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of scientific, standardized and Mongolian medical characteristic-based core outcome sets(COS) for the clinical trial of Mongolian osteopathic manipulation in the treatment of humerus surgical neck fractures (HSNF). METHODS: This study constructed COS by combining literature research, questionnaire surveys, expert consultations and consensus conferences. Firstly, it retrieved the databases and analyzed the published research reports and clinical research protocols, conducted questionnaires for doctors and patients, extracted and collected the efficacy evaluation indicators of HSNF to form the outcome indicator pool. Then, it used Delphi survey method to invite Mongolian medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine orthopedic physicians as well as clinical research workers to rate the importance of the indicators. Finally, a consensus conference was held to determine the final COS. RESULTS: Through literature search, 13, 333 pieces of information were obtained. After screening, 61 pieces of literature were finally included. A total of 21 doctors and patients participated in the questionnaire survey. The results of the research in the literature and the questionnaire survey indicators were sorted and extracted, forming an outcome indicator pool consisting of 31 indicators. After two rounds of Delphi surveys, experts rated the indicators, and 26 indicators were included in the consensus meeting for discussion. Finally, the consensus meeting determined that 11 outcome indicators entered the core outcome indicator set. Seven indicator domains were covered:pain (patients' self-reported pain, tenderness at the fracture site), functional status (joint range of motion of the affected limb, muscle strength of the affected limb, ability to independently complete daily activities), quality of life (quality of life assessment), imaging indicators (fracture healing time, excellent rate of fracture reduction), patient perspective (patient treatment satisfaction), safety indicators (total incidence rate of adverse reactions/events), and Mongolian medicine indicators (Mongolian medicine syndrome evaluation). Measurement methods or tools were recommended for some indicators. CONCLUSION: A clinical research COS integrating the characteristics of Mongolian medicine was established, providing a clear range of outcome indicators for the clinical research of Mongolian osteopathy in treating HSNF. This will offer more applicable evidence for Mongolian clinical decision-making and patient care. Future studies should further validate and promote the application of this COS to facilitate the wider recognition and application of Mongolian osteopathy in the modern medical system.
