Methods
To develop the Comprehensiveness of Outcome Reporting (COR) Tool, we
first determined the broad outcome areas found in medical research. We
then programmed an excel-based tool to ensure accessibility and ease of
use. Finally, we tested the tool with randomized control trials included
in the development of a COS for obesity in pregnancy to determine the
performance of the user interface, the findings of which are published
separately, and not as part of this manuscript.
