Design and Rationale for Common Data Elements for Clinical Research in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

We describe a multistep process for the creation of “core domains” of research (e.g. patient outcomes, health-related conditions, or aspects of health) and the development of common data elements within each core domain. We define a tiered approach to data collection based on relevance of each common data element to future studies and clinical practice within the field of interest. Additionally, we describe the use of the Delphi methods to achieve consensus of these common data element documents using an international, multidisciplinary panel of experts.
