“…In this work, we used a validated consensus method through subsequent rounds in order to achieve a consensus. The Delphi method is widely used in order to create recommendations not only in the field of rheumatology but also in other specialties [ 16 – 19 ].…”

BackgroundThe aim of this global collaboration was to develop a consensual set of items for the analysis of synovial biopsies in clinical practice and translational research through the EULAR Synovitis Study Group (ESSG) and OMERACT Synovial Tissue Biopsy Group.MethodsParticipants were consulted through a modified Delphi method. Three sequential rounds occurred over 12 months. Members were sent a written questionnaire containing items divided into two parts. Items were identified and formulated based on a scoping review. The first part of the questionnaire referred to synovial biopsies in clinical practice including five subsections, and the second part to translational research with six subsections. Every participant was asked to score each item on a 5-point Likert scale. Items with a median score above 3.5 and a ≥ 70% agreement were selected for the next round. The last round was conducted orally at EULAR in June 2017.ResultsTwenty-seven participants from 19 centers were contacted by email. Twenty participants from 17 centers answered. Response rates for next rounds were 100%. For the first part relating to clinical practice, 20/44 items (45.5%) were selected. For the second part relating to translational research, 18/43 items (41.9%) were selected for the final set.ConclusionsWe herein propose a consensual set of analysis items to be used for synovial biopsies conducted in clinical practice and translational research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13075-018-1762-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Defining a set of potentially preventable complications relevant to nursing: A Delphi Study among head nurses

et al. 2020

Aim To establish a list of potentially preventable complications as a tool for nursing management. Background Different outcome parameters have been used in patient safety research. However, they have mainly been used for medical and administrative goals. The role of nurses in achieving patient safety outcomes has been given little attention. Method A three‐round Web‐based modified Delphi study was conducted in four hospitals, using the list of potentially preventable complications (PPCs) as a starting point. Consensus on a shortlist of nursing relevant complications was the endpoint. Results This study revealed a shortlist 12 PPCs relevant to the nursing profession, based on the expert opinion of more than sixty head nurses from different wards and hospitals. An overall consensus of 77.58% was reached. In surgical, medical and geriatric wards, a consensus of 95.7% was achieved. Conclusion This is the first study that points out which PPCs are related to nursing. The shortlist contains some of the most studied complications and can serve a wide variety of hospital wards. Implications for Nursing Management Prevention of complications reduces harm to patients and avoids the nursing work and costs to treat them. This list provides nursing managers with a powerful tool to raise awareness for risk assessment and preventive measures among nurses. It offers an instrument to facilitate the documentation and handover of patient safety outcomes in nursing. This shortlist can also serve as an assessment tool for patient safety interventions.

The use of advanced web‐based survey design in Delphi research

Abstract: The use of metadata, paradata and embedded data appears to improve response rates, identify bias and give possible explanation for apparent outlier responses, providing an efficient method of conducting web-based Delphi surveys.
