Background In biomedical research, it is often desirable to seek consensus among individuals who have differing perspectives and experience. This important when evidence emerging, inconsistent, limited, or absent. Even research abundant, clinical recommendations, policy decisions, priority-setting may still require agreement from multiple, sometimes ideologically opposed parties. Despite their prominence influence on key methods are poorly reported. Our aim was develop the first reporting guideline dedicated applicable all used in regardless of objective process, called ACCORD (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document).

Rehabilitation plays crucial role in improving symptoms, function, life reducing disability, particularly given the lack disease-modifying agents limitations medications surgical therapies. However, rehabilitative care under-recognized under-utilized PD often only utilized later stages, despite research guidelines demonstrating its positive effects. Currently, there consensus regarding fundamental topics related to services PD. Objective: The goal international Foundation Medicine Task Force was develop statement incorporation rehabilitation care. Methods: Force, comprised multidisciplinary experts people directly affected by PD, met virtually discuss such as services, existing therapy literature gaps needs. A systematic, interactive, iterative process used consensus-based statements on core components discipline-specific interventions. Results: expert-based outlines key tenets including approach guidance for occupational therapy, physical speech language pathology/therapy, psychology/neuropsychology across all stages. Conclusions: Rehabilitative interventions should be an essential component comprehensive treatment from diagnosis advanced disease.
