Aim

To develop a clinical core set of outcome measures that is accepted for relevance, feasibility and validity by stakeholders and useful for a) interaction between patient and professional, b) internal quality improvement, and c) external transparency in patients with NSLBP in primary care physical therapy.

Method

We used a consensus-driven modified RAND-UCLA Delphi technique. We conducted seven separate steps with panellists (physical therapists, patient representatives, health insurers) to select accepted outcomes. These seven steps consisted of a literature search, two online surveys, patient interviews, an experts meeting, a consensus meeting and final approval of an advisory board. Results of previous steps were discussed during the consensus meeting, and then panellists voted for inclusion per measure. The final core set was rated on relevance and feasibility on a 9-point Likert scale, when the median was ≥7 the core set was accepted.
