Clinical trial recruitment and retention are connected yet methodological research has addressed these separately. Dual assessment should be the new standard to avoid improving one at the expense of the other, say Anna Kearney et al. @ORRCA_rct @msakearney @MRCNIHRTMRP @SCTorg

A subset of outcomes exists relevant for research and routine care in COS developed for the same condition but different settings. @COMETinitiative @prw_paula @JClinEpi bit.ly/4dbyLLI

Great to be presenting about the similarities and differences between COS developed for research and COS developed for routine care #hsruk2024 @COMETinitiative @arc_nwc

Our paper “Guidance to inform research recruitment processes for studies involving critically ill patients” is now published In our 2nd paper, @kerry_woolfall et al outline our good practice guidance on recruitment of critically ill patients to research

TRECA main results paper now in BMC Medicine: rdcu.be/df4lR . Using multimedia instead of printed sheets increased trial recruitment in children & teens. Pooled data, 3 SWATs: OR 1.54 (1.05, 2.28) p=0.03. Overall, mutlimedia recruitment rate 69%, printed sheet rate 64%.

@heidirgardner @aberdeenuni Congratulations!

@GilliesKatie @aberdeenuni Congratulations!

I've worked in trials methods research for 14 years. Had 2 kids, worked part-time, plenty unsuccessful grants, awful reviewer (#2😉) comments, but also key successes w/ AWESOME colleagues. @aberdeenuni has rewarded all of this & awarded me promotion to Professor. I can't even!

@msakearney @prw_paula @arc_nwc 👏to Anna for leading this impressive piece of work! Key finding - room for improvement in patient participation in the studies found (all now in the COMET database). Looking forward to Anna’s work on the question of a single COS 👍 @prw_paula

Our review of core outcome sets for routine care is now online. This is the first step in determining whether a single COS is appropriate for both research and routine clinical care settings doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli… @COMETinitiative @prw_paula @arc_nwc

@hetbag @scifall @Drakesyard @eczemasupport Yes international.

@msakearney @scifall @Drakesyard @eczemasupport Is this international do you know Anna?

Someone you know have lived experience of dementia or is a family carer? @scifall is looking for people to co develop outcome measures. Deadline extended for a few weeks so still time to circulate /register interest. @hetbag @drakesyard @eczemasupport

@KatiePaddockPhD @MelissaSurgey I did this once. Andy looked at me horrified when he saw it - apparently there are only so many bricks you should put in a car at once if you don’t want to wreck the suspension. Who knew! 🤣 Maybe do a few trips….??

I also seem to think that I can transport them in my fiancé’s Golf, and not be physically wrecked from this endeavour before drinks with @MelissaSurgey later in the day.

In the latest edition of “Katie Paddock: The Uncertain Yet Dangerously Enthusiastic New Homeowner” I’ve just arranged to collect 150 bricks from a stranger on Saturday morning to use in my small garden. *Deletes Pinterest*

Clear reporting of #missingdata is v. important. Imputed data is a particular challenge- Lots of effort to know which data in the analysis was available vs imputed. Participant status often reported instead. @JamillaHussain1 @tmorris_mrc #relatedArticles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jclinepi.com/article/S0895-…

Understanding which data is observed and which is imputed in RCT publications can be very tricky. Increased transparency in reporting is needed @Carrol_Gamble @janetalaneBris @BlazebyJ @CONSORTing #relatedArticles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jclinepi.com/article/S0895-…

@AccessCR @eczemasupport Hi, orrca.org.uk is an online searchable database of recruitment and retention research. Free to use. Contact orrca@liv.ac.uk if you have more questions once you have had a look.

@eczemasupport @msakearney Hi, very interested in learning more about this resource to inform our work and other projects in Aus aimed at supporting awareness, recruitment and retention to trials.

Patient, carer and public views wanted on #recruitment and #retention resource please Contact @msakearney and share

We are looking for patient and public advisors working in clinical trials to help us review and improve @ORRCArct. Get in contact if you are interested.
