Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) affects 20-30% of patients. This paper offers guidelines for designing, conducting, and reporting PONV studies to improve clinical relevance and comparability.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Clinical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a significant clinical challenge with a 20-30% incidence.
  • Numerous studies exist, yet comparability and clinical utility are often limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide essential guidelines for the design, conduct, and presentation of future PONV studies.
  • To enhance the comparability of research findings and aid clinicians in literature assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Recommends focusing on novel research questions rather than redundant antiemetic studies.
  • Advocates for group comparability based on validated risk factors and simplified risk scores.
  • Emphasizes realistic sample size calculations (minimum 100 patients/group) and separate reporting of nausea, vomiting, and rescue medication incidences.

Main Results:

  • PONV incidence remains high despite extensive research.
  • Current study designs often lack comparability and focus on predictable outcomes.
  • Standardized reporting of outcomes and methodology is crucial for advancing PONV research.

Conclusions:

  • Future PONV research must adopt rigorous methodological standards for improved clinical impact.
  • Standardized reporting of key outcomes, risk factors, and sample sizes will enhance study comparability.
  • Adherence to these guidelines will facilitate better assessment of PONV literature and clinical practice.
