Abstract While deterministically predicting the time and location of earthquakes remains impossible, earthquake forecasting models can provide estimates probabilities occurring within some region over time. To enable informed decision‐making civil protection, governmental agencies, or public, Operational Earthquake Forecasting (OEF) systems aim to authoritative forecasts based on current activity in near‐real Establishing OEF involves several nontrivial choices.

ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) explanation and elaboration: Guidance and examples to support reporting consensus methods

PLoS Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(5), P. e1004390 - e1004390

Published: May 6, 2024

When research evidence is limited, inconsistent, or absent, healthcare decisions and policies need to be based on consensus amongst interested stakeholders. In these processes, the knowledge, experience, expertise of health professionals, researchers, policymakers, public are systematically collected synthesised reach agreed clinical recommendations and/or priorities. However, despite influence exercises, methods used achieve agreement often poorly reported. The ACCORD (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document) guideline was developed help report any in biomedical research, regardless field, techniques used, application.

Sample size in multistakeholder Delphi surveys: at what minimum sample size do replicability of results stabilize?

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 174, P. 111485 - 111485

Published: July 26, 2024

Background and ObjectiveThe minimum sample size for multistakeholder Delphi surveys remains understudied. Drawing from three large international surveys, this study aimed to: 1) investigate the effect of increasing on replicability results; 2) assess whether level results differed with participant characteristics: example, gender, age, profession.MethodsWe used data to develop guidance improved reporting health-care intervention trials: SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations Interventional Trials) CONSORT (Consolidated Standards Reporting extension surrogate end points (n = 175, 22 items rated); CONSORT-SPI [CONSORT Social Psychological Interventions] 333, 77 core outcome set burn care 553, 88 rated). Resampling replacement was draw random subsamples in each surveys. For subsample, median value all rated survey calculated compared medians full set.

The number of centenarians worldwide is expected to increase dramatically, reaching 3.4 million by 2050 and >25 2100. Despite these projections, depression remains a prevalent yet underdiagnosed undertreated condition among this population that carries significant health risks. This study aimed identify achieve consensus on the most representative signs symptoms in near-centenarians (aged ≥95 years) through an e-Delphi with international interdisciplinary panel experts. Ultimately, outcomes might help create screening instrument specifically designed for unique population. A modified was carried out expert depressive centenarians. 28 experts recruited. Consensus defined as 70% agreement relevance each item. Data were collected web-based questionnaire over 3 rounds.

Digital mobility assessment using wearable sensor systems has the potential to capture walking performance in a patient’s natural environment. It enables monitoring of health status and disease progression evaluation interventions real-world situations. In contrast laboratory settings, occurs non-conventional environments under unconstrained uncontrolled conditions. Despite general understanding, there is lack agreed definitions about what constitutes walking, impeding comparison interpretation acquired data across studies. The goal this study was obtain expert-based consensus on specific aspects provide respective common terminological framework. An adapted Delphi method used related walking. an online survey, 162 participants from panel academic, clinical industrial experts with experience field gait analysis were asked for agreement previously specified definitions. Descriptive statistics evaluate whether consent (> 75% as defined priori) reached. Of invited participate, 51 completed all rounds (31.5% response rate). We obtained (“Walking” > 90%, “Purposeful” 75%, “Real-world” “Walking bout” 80%, speed” “Turning” 90% agreement) after two rounds. identification consented set important implications development protocols, well reporting digital outcomes studies systems. will serve framework implementing mobile technologies are link transition supervised unsupervised assessment.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a sino-nasal chronic inflammatory disease, occurring in 5–15% of the general population. CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) present up to 30% One-third CRSwNP patients suffer from disease that uncontrolled by current standards care. Biologics are an emerging treatment option for severe CRSwNP, but their positioning algorithm under discussion. Effective endotyping who could benefit biologics required, as suggested international guidelines. Other issues affecting management include comorbidities, such allergy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug–exacerbated respiratory and asthma. Therefore, choice depends on many factors. A multidisciplinary approach may improve currently there no shared model. We summarize outcomes Delphi process involving panel otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, allergist-immunologists involved attempted reach consensus key statements relating diagnosis, endotyping, classification (including place biologics) patients.
