This study aims to update a systematic review and evaluate the measurement properties of instruments for the core outcomes of congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN). The first step involves literature search to identify core outcomes and instruments used in previous research. The second step includes a systematic search for studies on the measurement properties of these instruments. The study concludes that further research is needed to determine the appropriate measurement instruments for the core outcomes of CMN.
Background: Congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) can impact on patients' lives due to their appearance and the risk they carry of neurological complications or melanoma development. The development of a core outcome set (COS) will allow standardised reporting and enable comparison of outcomes. This will help to improve guidelines. In previous research, relevant stakeholders reached a consensus over which core outcomes should be measured in any future care or research. The next step of the COS development is to select the appropriate measurement instruments. Aim: Step 1: to update a systematic review identifying all core outcomes and measurement instruments available for CMN. Step 2: to evaluate the measurement properties of the instruments for the core outcomes. Methods: This study was registered in PROSPERO and performed according to the PRISMA checklist. Step 1 includes a literature search in EMBASE (Ovid), PubMed and the Cochrane Library to identify core outcomes and instruments previously used in research of CMN. Step 2 yields a systematic search for studies on the measurement properties of instruments that were either developed or validated for CMN, including a methodological quality assessment following the COSMIN methodology. Results: Step 1 included twenty-nine studies. Step 2 yielded two studies, investigating two quality of life measurement instruments. Conclusion: Step 1 provided an overview of outcomes and instruments used for CMN. Step 2 showed that additional research on measurement properties is needed to evaluate which instruments can be used for the COS of CMN. This study informs the instrument selection and/or development of new instruments. (c) 2022 The Author(s).
