About this trial

This project will identify the research priorities for paediatric anaesthesia and perioperative medicine in participating countries and highlight areas where further research and information can be provided to optimise the experience of children undergoing medical interventions.

This is expected to have significant positive impacts on patient and family engagement and interest in research within the community and aids to plan patient/ family-centred studies.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Consensus-ranked list of top 10 research priorities for paediatric anaesthesia and peri-operative medicine among children and young people aged 6-16 years, parents and clinicians.

The number and rank order of research priorities identified and agreed upon by children, parents and clinicians, as determined by a prioritisation process. Priorities will be gathered via structured online surveys. The outcome is expressed as a ranked list of 10 discrete research topics, ordered by level of group consensus agreement; results are reported as the proportion (%) of participants selecting each topic as a priority, used to generate a ranked top 10 list

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Degree of agreement between child/young person-identified priorities and those identified by parents/carers and clinicians

Whether child-identified priorities differ from those identified by parents/carers and clinicians and if these priorities differed from those previously identified by parents/carers and clinicians in equivalent Australian studies.
