Round 2 open: Breech core outcome set (Breech-COS)

The second round of our consensus-building activity to establish a core outcome set for breech birth studies is now open. This will establish a standard set of outcomes and their definitions that ALL breech birth studies will collect, so that we can compare the results.

This consensus-building activity follows on from our systematic review, including Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) activity, Development of a core outcome set for effectiveness studies of breech birth at term (Breech-COS): A systematic review on variations in outcome reporting.

We have sent personal invitations to all previous participants but are also opening this round to new participants.

You can participate here. You are welcome to forward this post to anyone else who may be interested. The results will inform a consensus meeting discussion to take place in the spring. This will be open to the public and announced later this year.

We invite participants from the following stakeholder groups:

  • Service user (you or your partner has experienced a breech pregnancy)
  • midwife
  • obstetrician
  • neonatologist
  • paramedic
  • anaesthetist
  • health researchers
  • health service manager
  • healthcare commissioner
  • health economist
  • statistician
  • support group representative

Example of results from the first round on the outcomes of intrauterine death/stillbirth and cord clamping < 1 minute after birth.
