The chosen primary outcome and anticipated effect size have major impact on the clinical relevance of results in these trials. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of frequently used outcomes and anticipated effect sizes in randomised trials on peripheral nerve block adjuncts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>For our scoping review, we searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL for trials assessing effects of adjuncts for peripheral nerve blocks published in 10 major anaesthesia journals. We included randomised clinical trials assessing adjuncts for single\u2010shot ultrasound\u2010guided peripheral nerve blocks, regardless of the type of interventional adjunct and control group, local anaesthetic used and anatomical localization. Our primary outcome was the choice of primary outcomes and corresponding anticipated effect size used for sample size estimation. Secondary outcomes were assessor of primary outcomes, the reporting of sample size calculations and statistically significant and non\u2010significant results related to the anticipated effect sizes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 11,854 screened trials, we included 59. The most frequent primary outcome was duration of analgesia (35\/59 trials, 59%) with absolute and relative median (interquartile range) anticipated effect sizes for adjunct versus placebo\/no adjunct: 240\u2009min (180\u2013318) and 30% (25\u201340) and for adjunct versus active comparator: 210\u2009min (180\u2013308) and 17% (15\u201328).
