Executive summary: the 2018 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference: Aligning the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research Agenda to Reduce Health Outcome Gaps.
Emergency care providers share a compelling interest in developing an effective patient-centered, outcomes-based research agenda that can decrease variability in pediatric outcomes. The 2018 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference "Aligning the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research Agenda to Reduce Health Outcome Gaps (AEMCC)" aimed to fulfill this role. This paper discusses the conference which convened major thought leaders and stakeholders to introduce a research, scholarship, and innovation agenda for pediatric emergency care specifically to reduce health outcome gaps.

Extension of disease risk score-based confounding adjustments for multiple outcomes of interest: an empirical evaluation.
Use of disease risk score (DRS)-based confounding adjustment when estimating treatment effects on multiple outcomes is not well studied. In this empirical cohort study, the investigators compared dabigatran initiators and warfarin initiators with respect to risks of ischemic stroke and major bleeding in 12 sequential monitoring periods (90 days each), using data from the Truven Marketscan database (Truven Health Analytics, Ann Arbor, Michigan).

Race/ethnicity and retention in traumatic brain injury outcomes research: a traumatic brain injury model systems national database study.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of race/ethnicity to retention in traumatic brain injury (TBI) research at 1 to 2 years postinjury. The findings emphasized the importance of investigating retention rates separately for blacks and Hispanics rather than combining them or grouping either with other races or ethnicities. The results also suggested the need for implementing procedures to increase retention of Hispanics in longitudinal TBI research.

Quantification of long-term survival benefit in a comparative oncology clinical study.
The authors discuss the quantification of long-term survival benefit in a comparative oncology clinical study. They assert that from the perspective of cost-risk-benefit, using a long-term survival benefit criterion for selecting anticancer therapies may be more appropriate.

Towards global consensus on core outcomes for hidradenitis suppurativa research: an update from the HISTORIC consensus meetings I and II.
This article describes the outcome of two in-person consensus meetings to create a core outcomes set (COS) for hidradenitis suppurative (HS) research. Forty-one individuals from 13 countries and 4 continents were included. The list of items discussed had been developed from patient interviews, a systematic literature review and a healthcare professional survey. Nine items were excluded and seven domains were approved which included: disease course, physical signs, HS-specific quality of life, satisfaction, symptoms, pain and global assessments.
