Development and Validation of the Stanford Obstetric Recovery Checklist (STORK): A Delphi Consensus and Multicenter Clinical Validation Study.
JAMA network open
2025; 8 (4): e255713
Abstract
Existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) evaluating outpatient postpartum recovery lack content validity and were mostly not designed for this population. A Delphi process was performed, aiming to develop a patient-reported outcome measure for outpatient postpartum recovery and then evaluate it in a multicenter cohort study.Development of the Stanford Obstetric Recovery Checklist (STORK) involved 3 phases: (1) postpartum recovery questions were identified in published reviews; (2) after institutional review board approval, 16 multidisciplinary experts and patient stakeholders participated in 3 Delphi rounds (January 11 to April 12, 2021) to select items, resulting in the development of STORK (47 items; total score range, 0-188, with 0 indicating the worst recovery and 188 indicating the best recovery); and (3) cognitive debriefing interviews were conducted with 10 postpartum individuals to finalize STORK items. Individuals then completed STORK during their inpatient stay and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks post partum in a prospective, 3-center, US longitudinal cohort study conducted from June 13, 2022, to February 28, 2023. Recruitment occurred until 300 six-week STORK surveys were completed. STORK was evaluated at 6 weeks for validity (ability to measure recovery), reliability, and responsiveness. Validity included (1) structural validity (exploratory factor analysis using root mean square residual [RMSR]; <0.08 indicates a good fit); (2) convergent validity (correlation with global health visual analog scale score [GHVAS; scale, 0-100] and EuroQoL Five-Dimensions Three-Levels [EQ-5D-3L]); (3) discriminant validity (mean difference in STORK scores with GHVAS <70 vs ≥70); and (4) confirmatory telephone interviews with postpartum individuals scoring the highest and lowest 10th percentiles of STORK scores. Reliability (consistency of STORK scores) was evaluated using Cronbach α, interitem correlation, split-half reliability, and floor and ceiling effects. Responsiveness (ability of STORK to detect changes in recovery over time) was evaluated using percentage change in score from baseline to 12 weeks.A total of 525 individuals were recruited after all delivery modes (response rate, 62% [324 of 525] at 6 weeks); 498 (mean [SD] age, 33.3 [4.9] years) completed baseline inpatient postpartum surveys. STORK demonstrated validity: (1) a 4-factor model was the best fit (RMSR = 0.05); (2) correlation with GHVAS scores was ρ = 0.52 (95% CI, 0.43-0.61), and correlation with EQ-5D-3L scores was ρ = -0.67 (95% CI, -0.76 to -0.63); (3) STORK was able to discriminate between patients reporting good and poor recovery (good recovery: median STORK score, 151 [IQR, 136-163] vs poor recovery: median STORK score, 129 [IQR, 107-148]; P < .001); and (4) the highest and lowest scores corresponded to subjective assessments. STORK demonstrated reliability (Cronbach α = 0.92; interitem correlation r = 0.20; and split-half reliability ρ = 0.98). It also demonstrated responsiveness: percentage increases in overall STORK scores from baseline to week 12 were 19% after spontaneous vaginal delivery, 31% after operative vaginal delivery, 27% after scheduled cesarean delivery, and 20% after nonscheduled cesarean delivery (P < .001).In this cohort study of US individuals, STORK was found to be a valid, reliable, and responsive measure of outpatient postpartum recovery. Future clinical trials are needed to determine its clinical utility.

Expert Consensus Regarding Core Outcomes for Enhanced Recovery after Cesarean Delivery Studies: A Delphi study.
Anesthesiology
2022
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Heterogeneity among reported outcomes from enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery impact studies is high. This study aimed to develop a standardized enhanced recovery core outcome set for use in future enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery studies.METHODS: An international consensus study involving physicians, patients and a director of Midwifery and Nursing Services, was conducted using a three-round modified Delphi approach (2 rounds of electronic questionnaires and a 3rd round e-discussion), to produce the core outcome set. An initial list of outcomes was based on a previously published systematic review. Consensus was obtained for the final core outcome set, including definitions for key terms, and preferred units of measurement. Strong consensus was defined as ≥70% agreement and weak consensus as 50-69% agreement. Of the 64 stakeholders who were approached, 32 agreed to participate. All 32, 31 and 26 stakeholders completed Rounds 1, 2 and 3, respectively.RESULTS: The number of outcomes in the final core outcome set was reduced from 98 to 15. Strong consensus (≥70% stakeholder agreement) was achieved for 15 outcomes. The core outcome set included: length of hospital stay; compliance with enhanced recovery protocol; maternal morbidity (hospital re-admissions or unplanned consultations); provision of optimal analgesia (maternal satisfaction, compliance with analgesia, opioid consumption / requirement and incidence of nausea or vomiting); fasting times; breastfeeding success; and times to mobilization and urinary catheter removal. The Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 item composite measure was also included in the final core outcome set. Areas identified as requiring further research included readiness for discharge and analysis of cost savings.CONCLUSIONS: Results from an international consensus to develop a core outcome set for enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery are presented. These are outcomes that could be considered when designing future enhanced recovery studies.
