Abstract
It has been estimated that 85% of all clinical research is wasted. Suboptimal outcome
selection is an important cause of waste because it leads to research that cannot be compared
and may not be clinically relevant. A solution to this problem is the use of a core outcome set, a
standardised set of outcomes recorded whenever research in a specific field is carried out.
The methodology behind developing a core outcome set and how this is being applied in the
Core Outcomes in Neonatology (COIN) project is described.
