We aimed to determine if the proportion of patient\u2010important outcomes in surgical trials has changed over the last decade, and to determine whether patient\u2010important outcomes are more likely to be specified as primary outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The 350 most recent randomized controlled trials examining surgical interventions on humans and published in English were included. Outcomes were classified as patient\u2010important, surrogate or laboratory using standardized definitions, along with either primary, secondary or unspecified. Mean proportions were calculated across all trials and a chi\u2010squared test was used to detect the difference between time periods. Contingency tables were populated with each trial's outcomes, characterizing whether each outcome was patient\u2010important or not, and whether it was specified as primary or secondary. Odds ratios were then combined in a random\u2010effects meta\u2010analysis to calculate a pooled odds ratio.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 64% of all outcomes were patient\u2010important. The mean (standard deviation) proportion of patient\u2010important outcomes per trial was 66% (31.4), which significantly increased over the last decade, from 60% (31.6) in 2009. The mean proportion of primary outcomes which were patient\u2010important increased from 64% (46.0) in 2009 to 77% (40.6) in 2019. Patient\u2010important outcomes were not significantly associated with being a primary outcome and this did not change significantly over the decade.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patient\u2010important outcomes are still poorly represented as primary outcomes.
