Perspectives Of Quality Risk Management Application In Economical Evaluations Alongside Clinical Trials

Abstract

the use of Delphi method, reporting guidelines could help improve reporting of this research, and thereby allow readers to be aware of the accuracy of data and conclusions. ApproAch: We proposed a set of reporting guidelines to communicate quantitative findings derived from this method. These include (1) explaining how the Delphi method is used, (2) stating variables which have to be estimated by the expert panel, (3) providing definition of the variables, (4) specifying references of base values which experts referred to, (5) describing expert panel selection with eligibility criteria and including conflicts of interest, (6) outlining participation and attrition rates for each round, (7) detailing statistical analyses and interpretation in arriving at final agreed values, (8) reporting both quantitative results and textual comments for each round of analysis and ( 9) appending revised questionnaires. concluSion: We anticipate the implementation of this will promote transparent and accurate reporting of research using Delphi method for obtaining quantitative data.
