Abstract Background A growing number of small studies suggest that school-based physical activity initiatives can help children achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day. However, the heterogeneity of outcomes and measures used in small studies prevents pooling of results to demonstrate whether short-term health benefits are sustained. Qualitative studies suggest many benefits that are not represented by outcomes in trials to date. The aim of this study was to generate a list of outcomes that have been studied to develop a core outcome set (COS) acceptable to key stakeholders for future studies evaluating school-based physical activity initiatives. Methods We searched six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CENTRAL and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) systematically for reviews of school-based physical activity interventions, and extracted relevant studies to identify the outcomes and measures used in each paper. A long list was generated from the literature and a previous workshop with stakeholders. This study is registered with COMET (#1322), and with PROSPERO (CRD42019146621). Results 75/121 cited studies drawn from 53/2409 reviews met our inclusion criteria. We grouped 65 outcomes into 3 domains: (i) physical activity and health (ii) social and emotional health, and (iii) educational attainment. We will conduct two Delphi survey rounds with four stakeholder groups (health professionals, researchers, educators and parents) to rate the importance of each outcome. A core outcome set will be generated from a consensus process. Conclusions There is currently a large variation of outcomes and measures studied that precludes evidence synthesis of the impact of school-based physical activity interventions. Consensus methods are needed to focus research on the outcomes that matter the most to key stakeholders and to provide tools for future studies to assess long-term impact. Key messages Variations in outcomes studied precludes evidence synthesis of SBPA intervention impacts. A core outcome set is needed to ensure future SBPA interventions measure outcomes that matter the most.

IntroductionPrimary school-based physical activity interventions, such as The Daily Mile initiative, have the potential to increase children’s physical activity levels over time, which is associated with a variety of health benefits. Comparing interventions or combining results of several studies of a single intervention is challenging because previous studies have examined different outcomes or used different measures that are not feasible or relevant for researchers in school settings. The development and implementation of a core outcome set (COS) for primary school-based physical activity interventions would ensure outcomes important to those involved in implementing and evaluating interventions are standardised.Methods and analysisOur aim is to develop a COS for studies of school-based physical activity interventions. We will achieve this by undertaking a four-stage process:(1) identify a list of outcomes assessed in studies through a systematic review of international literature; (2) establish domains from these outcomes to produce questionnaire items; (3) prioritise outcomes through a two-stage Delphi survey with four key stakeholder groups (researchers, public health professionals, educators and parents), where stakeholders rate the importance of each outcome on a 9-point Likert scale (consensus that the outcomes should be included in the COS will be determined as 70% or more of all stakeholders scoring the outcome 7%–9% and 15% or less scoring 1 to 3); (4) achieve consensus on a final COS in face-to-face meetings with a sample of stakeholders and primary school children.Ethics and disseminationWe have received ethical approval from Imperial College London (ref: 19IC5428). The results of this study will be disseminated via conference presentations/public health meetings, peer-reviewed publications and through appropriate media channels.Trial registration numberCore Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials Initiative (COMET) number: 1322.

Meta Analyses

Rare neurological conditions (RNCs) encompass a variety of diseases that differ in progression and symptoms but typically include muscle weakness, sensory and balance impairment and difficulty with coordinating voluntary movement. This can limit overall physical activity, so interventions to address this are recommended. The aim of this study was to agree a core outcome measurement set for physical activity interventions in people living with RNCs. We followed established guidelines to develop core outcome sets. Broad ranging discussions in a series of stakeholder workshops led to the consensus that (1) physical well-being; (2) psychological well-being and (3) participation in day-to-day activities should be evaluated in interventions. Recommendations were further informed by a scoping review of physical activity interventions for people living with RNCs. Nearly 200 outcome measures were identified from the review with a specific focus on activities or functions (e.g, on lower limb function, ability to perform daily tasks) but limited consideration of participation based outcomes (e.g., social interaction, work and leisure). Follow on searches identified two instruments that matched the priority areas: the Oxford Participation and Activities Questionnaire and the Sources of Self-Efficacy for Physical Activity. We propose these scales as measures to assess outcomes that are particularly relevant to assess when evaluating physical activity interventions mong people with RNCs. Validation work across rare neurological conditions is now required to inform application of this core outcome set in future clinical trials to facilitate syntheses of results and meta-analyses.

Abstract Background and Objectives A core outcome set (COS) to evaluate physical activity (PA) interventions for people living with dementia is needed, as the development of guidelines is currently limited by important heterogeneity in this field of research. Development of COS often includes Delphi surveys, but people living with dementia are often excluded. This study aimed to reach consensus on this COS using a modified Delphi survey to enable the participation of people living with dementia. Research Design and Methods Two stakeholders groups took part in a Delphi survey (Group 1: people living with dementia and family caregivers; Group 2: professionals from different backgrounds, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and researchers). Caregivers and professionals completed the survey remotely. Participants living with dementia took part face-to-face, using a card sorting strategy. The consensus process was finalized with a consensus meeting. Results Ninety-five participants of both groups completed the modified Delphi. Of those, 11 attended the consensus meeting. The card sorting strategy was successful at including people living with dementia. Seven outcomes reached consensus: preventing falls; doing what you can do; staying healthy and fit; walking better, being able to stand up and climb stairs; feeling brighter; enjoying the moment; and, feeling useful and having a purpose. Discussion and Implications Robust and innovative methodological strategies were used to reach a consensus on a COS (what to measure) to evaluate PA for people living with dementia. Future work will focus on the selection of the most appropriate tools to measure these outcomes (how to measure).

Objectif : L’absence de standardisation des objectifs à atteindre par les traitements des fistules anopérinéales (FAP) de la maladie de Crohn limite les possibilités d’analyse et de comparaison des données issues des études disponibles. L’élaboration d’une liste standardisée d’objectifs à atteindre permettrait de résoudre ces problèmes. Cette étude valide la liste d’objectifs cruciaux (core outcome set [COS]) à atteindre pour le Crohn fistulisant. Méthode : Les objectifs susceptibles d’être retenus ont été définis par une revue de la littérature et des interviews de patients. La sélection consensuelle a été établie à l’issue d’un processus Delphi en trois étapes en évaluant sur une échelle de Likert en neuf points, l’importance que ces objectifs avaient pour définir la réussite d’un traitement. Des représentants de chacun des trois groupes impliqués dans ces traitements ont été recrutés à l’échelle nationale (chirurgiens et radiologistes, gastroentérologues et infirmières spécialisées en maladies inflammatoires intestinales, et enfin patients). Chaque intervenant a noté les différents objectifs possibles, puis a corrigé ses notes après avoir pris connaissance des autres notes données par les membres de son groupe (au deuxième tour) puis encore une fois après avoir pris connaissance des notations données par tous les participants (au troisième tour). Résultats : Au total, 295 objectifs potentiels ont été identifiés à partir d’une revue de la littérature et d’interviews, ils ont été catégorisés en 92 domaines. Cent quatre-vingt-sept participants (taux de réponse : 78,5 %) ont accordé la priorité à 49 objectifs à l’issue d’une méthode Delphi à trois cycles. Une réunion de consensus finale de 41 experts et patients s’est accordée sur un COS comprenant huit catégories d’objectifs. Ce COS comprenait trois catégories d’objectifs importants pour le patient (qualité de vie, incontinence et score combiné des priorités du patient) et cinq catégories d’objectifs retenus par les praticiens (activité de la maladie périanale, développement d’un nouvel abcès périanal, fistule nouvelle/récidivante, chirurgie non planifiée et dérivation fécale). Conclusion : Un COS sur les FAP de laMC a été élaboré par tous les acteurs clés de cette maladie. L’utilisation du COS diminuera l’hétérogénéité dans l’expression des résultats des traitements, ce qui rendra plus pertinente la comparaison des traitements entre eux, la synthèse des données et, en fin de compte, les soins rendus aux patients.
