Consensus on controversial issues of the surgery for Crohn’s disease by Delphi method

AIM: to establish the consensus on controversial issues of the surgery for Сrohn’s disease by Delphi method.METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted by the Delphi method. 62 experts voted intramural and anonymous (31.03.23). 5 statements from the current edition of clinical guidelines were selected for correction by working group and further voting [2]. Based on the practical experience of the working group and literature data, 3 new statements were created also. Statements that do not reach the required level of agreement (80% or more) will be subjected to Round 2 of the Delphi method.RESULTS: all experts took part in the anonymous voting. The panel of experts is represented by 8 different areas of practical medicine and the median of the professional experience of the respondents was 30 (12–49) years. Of the 8 statements submitted for voting, consensus (80% or more) was reached on 6 out of 8. 2 statements have been revised by working group for the distance 2nd round of the Delphi study. Consensus (more than 80%) was reached on both.CONCLUSION: a cross-sectional study by the Delphi method provided the opinions of a panel of experts on controversial issues in the surgical treatment of Crohn’s disease. Statements that reach consensus will be included by the working group in a new edition of clinical guidelines of Crohn’s disease.
