Cardiac output is a key cardiovascular variable quantifying global blood flow. The measurement performance of cardiac output monitoring methods is investigated in validation studies, which are method comparison studies determining the agreement between cardiac output values measured with a test method and those measured with a reference method. The StatistiCal analysis and repOrting of cardiac output Method comPARison studiEs (COMPARE) statement provides a framework for designing, performing, and reporting cardiac output method comparison studies and includes a checklist of 29 items that are essential for reporting of those studies. Considering and reporting the items specified in the COMPARE checklist will help standardize cardiac output method comparison studies and increase the external validity of the results.

Abstract
Cardiac output is a key cardiovascular variable quantifying global blood flow. The measurement performance of cardiac output monitoring methods is investigated in validation studies, which are method comparison studies determining the agreement between cardiac output values measured with a test method and those measured with a reference method. The StatistiCal analysis and repOrting of cardiac output Method comPARison studiEs (COMPARE) statement provides a framework for designing, performing, and reporting cardiac output method comparison studies and includes a checklist of 29 items that are essential for reporting of those studies. Considering and reporting the items specified in the COMPARE checklist will help standardize cardiac output method comparison studies and increase the external validity of the results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
