dysphagia mattersEP 14: New standards in dysphagia research: Core outcome sets with Sarah Gorst and Nicola Harman
How do we know what outcomes to measure and when to measure them when designing clinical trials? And how can we make studies more comparable, so that researchers measure the same outcomes with the same assessment at the same time points? One solution is the development and application of Core Outcome Sets (COS).
Dr. Sarah Gorst and Dr. Nicola Harman share their knowledge on Core Outcome Sets, how they can help us as researchers and clinicians, how to conduct them and what to do if there is no COS for our patient population, yet. Additionally, Dr. Sallyanne...2022-11-2138 min

Strict alternation deals with selection bias as effectively as strict random allocation, but alternation is more likely to result in foreknowledge of allocations among those recruiting research participants.

10 years later, Iain Chalmers and Paul Glaziou calculated that costs $170 billion annually in wasted research grants.
In this podcast, recorded at Evidence Live, we spoke to Altman and Chalmers about their campaigns to improve the design, conduct, and reporting of clinical trials, and why that level of waste still occurs.

Once described by one writer as 'The Maverick Master of Medical Evidence'. Iain Chalmers trained as a doctor, eventually specialising in obstetrics. But early in his career, he started to question the basis of everything he was trained to do and this set him on a very different path: to champion treatments based on the best available evidence, first in his own field and then across healthcare.
