  1. The Cochrane Skin Group - Core Outcome SetInitiative to develop core outcome sets acrossthe whole of dermatology Jan Kottner On behalf of the CSG-COUSIN

  2. Background • Non-comparable outcome measures in clinical trials • Core Outcome Set is minimum set of outcomes to be assessed and reported in clinical trial • Outcome domains • Outcome measurement instruments

  3. What is the CSG-COUSIN? • Working group within the CSG • International, multidisciplinary • Aims • To support the development of high quality COS in dermatology • To standardize the selection of outcomes and outcome measurement instruments in dermatology clinical trials to make clinical trial evidence comparable • To strengthen the quality and interpretability of evidence in dermatology through the implementation of COS in clinical trials and systematic reviews

  4. History • Foundation CSG-COUSIN in 2014 • Prof. Jochen Schmitt, Dresden • Prof. Hywel C. Williams, Nottingham • Inaugural Meeting at the Annual CSG Meeting in Dresden (March 2015) • 29 participants with diverse professional backgrounds and perspectives • Introduction CSG-COUSIN • Exchange of ideas • Development of future plans

  5. Structure • Head • Prof. Dr. Jochen Schmitt, MPH • Coordination • Centre for Evidence-Based Healthcare at the Medical School of Dresden, Germany • Support • Cochrane Skin Group, Nottingham • Three teams • International • Multidisciplinary • Open foreveryone

  6. Management Team Management-Team • Coordination of CSG-COUSIN • Support of Methods Group and Project Teams • First point of contact, organization of regular meetings • Provision of resources, e.g. articles, news • Summary of COS projects in dermatology • Establishment and maintenance of homepage • Newsletter • Creation of visibility and awareness • Support of publications

  7. Methods Group Methods Group • Provides Methodological Support • Internal peer review for CSG-COUSIN project groups • Conducts methodological studies on outcomes research and COS development • Development of methodological standards based on HOME roadmap • Support of implementation of COS

  8. Project Groups Project Groups • Development and implementation of Core Outcome Sets • Group composition • Leader • One member of methods group • Patient representative • Experts • Methodologists • Clinicians • Others

  19. Project Groups Current project groups within CSG-COUSIN

  20. Discussion points I • COS initiatives in many fields, OMERACT handbook since 2015, COMET handbook expected in 2016 → What role does HOME roadmap play? • Is COS development discipline specific? • Harmonization of concepts needed, e.g. “domain” in HOME roadmap vs. OMERACT

  21. Discussion points II • Glossary of terms would be nice to have → How to achieve agreement? • Can we formalize a need for a COS? • Additional entries in COMET: scar, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, actinic keratosis, alopecia, … (January 2016) → How do we deal with COS projects not affiliated to CSG-COUSIN?

  22. Get involved • All teams are open and welcome to interested new members • who wants to develop a new Core Outcome Set • who wants to be a part of a COS-project team  • who wants to use a specific COS • who are searching for methodical advice • who wants to work methodical in the field of COS ContactCochrane Skin Group - Core Outcome Set Initiative University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus DresdenCenter for Evidence-Based HealthcareDirector: Prof. Dr. med.
