Brief Summary
An international team of experts is working on a project called updated WSACS consensus definitions. The goals of this study are to:
1. To generate expert consensus on the definitions and classification of IAH and ACS.
2. To generate expert consensus on definitions regarding the pathophysiology of IAH and ACS.
3. To generate consensus on definitions regarding the methods of measurement of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).
Conditions
- Abdominal Hypertension
- Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Intervention / Treatment
- Other: Delphi study
Primary Outcome Measures
-
Level of consensus on definitions of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS)
(3-6 months)
Proportion of predefined definition statements for IAH and ACS reaching consensus among expert panellists, measured using a structured Delphi process. Consensus is defined a priori as ≥80% agreement on a 5-point Likert scale (ratings of 4-5 indicating agreement). Outcomes will include: Number and percentage of statements reaching consensus Median and interquartile range (IQR) of Likert scores per statement Stability of responses across Delphi rounds
