COMET (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials)

COMET (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials) is an initiative that develops standardized sets of key outcomes to be measured in health research studies. Its purpose is to ensure that different studies on similar topics use consistent and relevant outcomes, making it easier to compare and combine results. This enhances the quality and usefulness of research for healthcare decision-making. By focusing on core outcomes, COMET helps clinicians, researchers, and patients understand what matters most in assessing the effectiveness of treatments or interventions across various studies.
