Abstract
Background Inconsistency in trial outcomes reporting is a widely recognised problem in clinical research and critical care research is no exception. Our 2014 review of 66 trials evaluating reporting of ventilation outcomes, revealed a significant heterogeneity in both the outcomes selected and their definitions, particularly in terms of start and end points [1]. The purpose of our study is to establish a core outcome set (COS) for trials of interventions which aim to modify the duration of mechanical ventilation. We will actively promote the use of this set and follow its uptake in the academic press for ten years post publication.
