Consensus projects in progress
Delphi projects currently running
Consensus is developed through anonymous, multi-round rating by an invited panel. Panellists rate each statement on a fixed scale, may add comments, and see aggregated results between rounds.
| Project | Subtype | Panellists | Round | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Imaging criteria for venous TOS | Venous | 52 | Round 1 of 3 | Open |
| Indications for surgical decompression in neurogenic TOS | Neurogenic | 64 | Round 2 of 3 | Open |
| Core outcome set, revision 2 | All | 71 | Preparing | Not yet open |
Taking part
Panel invitations are issued by the collaborative. Invited members vote inside the members’ area, are notified when a round opens, and receive a reminder before it closes.
