Condition
Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD)
Background
The management of incontinence-associated dermatitis is important in caring for incontinent patients. The lack of comparability of clinical trial outcomes is a major challenge in the field of evidence-based incontinence-associated dermatitis prevention and treatment. Core outcome sets may therefore be helpful to improve the value of clinical incontinence-associated dermatitis research.
Scope of the intended COS
- Study types: Intervention studies such as RCTs
- Global scope
Methods
Systematic literature reviews, patient interviews and consensus study using Delphi procedures.
Involvement of stakeholders
During the domain identification patients and industry representatives were involved.
Current status
The following five core outcome domains have been identified: erythema, erosion, maceration, incontinence-associated dermatitis-related pain and patient satisfaction. Currently work is in progress to identify outcome measurement instruments per domain.
Funding
The published work was funded by the Skin Integrity Research Group (Belgium) and the Clinical Research Center for Hair and Skin Science (Germany). Work is in progress to secure funding to identify outcome measurement instruments per domain.
Involved Countries
Belgium, Germany and many more during the Delphi study
