A core outcomes set for clinical trials of interventions for young adults with type 1 diabetes: an international, multi-perspective Delphi consensus study

Table 4 Re-rating data for ‘new category A’ outcomes^a (i.e. outcomes which were later included in the voting for inclusion phase) during the consensus meeting

Outcome name	Number rating outcome measure 8 or higher (n = 12)	Mean rating	Standard deviation
Body mass index (BMI)^b	3	6.33	2.06
Missed clinic appointments (n)	9	7.75	1.36
Events of severe hypoglycaemia (n)	11	8.67	0.65
Perceived levels of barriers to treatment^b	7	6.83	2.04
Perceived level of control over diabetes^c	8	7.50	2.28

^aNew category A outcomes are those outcomes categorised as outcome B based on Delphi Survey 2 ratings, but subsequently received sufficient support through discussion and re-rating at the consensus meeting to warrant their inclusion in the set of outcomes voted on for inclusion in the final COS
^bWhile the outcome ‘BMI’ was well below the cut-off for inclusion as a new category A outcome, one participant argued passionately for its inclusion and subsequently consensus group participants agreed for its inclusion in the voting phase
^cWhile this variable was one vote below the cut-off for inclusion as a new category A outcome, a number of participants argued for its inclusion in the voting phase and consensus group participants agreed
