Outcome measurement
CORE-Kids Knee
Core outcomes for childhood knee injuries
Delphi underway
About the study
Agreeing what researchers should always measure after four major types of knee injury in children.
CORE-Kids Knee focuses on anterior cruciate ligament injuries, meniscal injuries, patellofemoral instability and traumatic osteochondral injuries.
A published systematic review identified outcomes previously used in knee injury research. Children and young people contributed through Technology of Participation focus groups at Duxford Airfield, Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and Thinktank Birmingham.
The Delphi survey is underway to build agreement on the outcomes that matter most. A study-specific expression-of-interest link will be added when confirmed.
