Background The Cochrane risk of bias (CROB) tool and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale are used to evaluate randomized controlled trials. We assessed the level agreement between instruments. Methods searched Library identify trials included in systematic reviews evaluating physical therapy interventions. For that met our inclusion criteria (primary reference review, review CROB (2008 version), indexed PEDro), items were extracted from PEDro total score downloaded PEDro. Kappa...

Objective. The current Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) Core Set used in randomized controlled trials (RCT) and longitudinal observational studies (LOS) was developed without the input of patients/parents. At Outcome Measures Rheumatology (OMERACT) 2016, a special interest group voted to reconsider core set, incorporating broader input. We describe subsequent work culminating an OMERACT 2018 plenary consensus voting. Methods. Candidate domains were identified through literature review,...

To generate candidates for contextual factors (CFs) each CF type (i.e., Effect Modifying Contextual Factors (EM-CFs), Outcome Influencing (OI-CFs), and Measurement Affecting (MA-CFs)) considered important within rheumatology. We surveyed OMERACT working groups conducted a special interest group (SIG) session at the 2023 meeting, where results were reviewed, additional CFs suggested. The suggested 44, 49, 21 generic EM-CFs, OI-CFs, MA-CFs, respectively. SIG participants added 55 factors,...
