Abstract:
AbstractThe impact of consensus conferences on physicians was studied in 1985 for the first four conferences Sweden held in 1982–1985. For each conference a main target group was defined as hospital-based physicians in supervisory positions within relevant clinics. Data were collected through a postal survey of all 1,668 members of the four different target groups. The total response rate was 86%. Reported awareness of a particular consensus conference as well as professed knowledge of a single conference statement was high—roughly 90%—for all four conferences. The consensus statement evoked changes in clinical practice according to 7%–10% of the respondents and changes were proportionally higher for physicians in smaller hospitals. Most of the respondents (61%–83%) reported no change, claiming that the consensus statement reflected clinical practices established prior to the conference. The validity of self-reported data is discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractThe consensus development conference method developed by the National Institutes of Health in the United States has been adopted and modified by a number of countries. Based on published articles and communication with representatives from each country, we examined whether the organization and conduct of these conferences in nine countries (United States, Canada, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom) enhanced or detracted from achieving the stated conference goals and objectives. We conclude that improvements in the process by which consensus conferences are conducted may be warranted. More scientific methods for synthesizing literature, such as meta-analysis, should be used in developing inputs for the conference panel. Formalizing the decision-making processes through polling or other methods that allow for structured disagreement with parts of a consensus statement would potentially expand the range and type of issues that can be addressed in such conferences. Finally, countries should consider having the consensus statement written over a longer period of time than the traditional overnight session, which seems unlikely to promote clear thinking.

Abstract:
In 2001, consensus meetings on traveller’s thrombosis were held in Vienna and Berlin. The results of these conferences were subsequently published in VASA 2002. In 2006 a follow-up conference was organized in Hall, Tirol, Austria, in order to review new and emerging data and to update the conclusions and recommendations of the 2001 meetings. Prior to the conference key papers from peer-reviewed journals were pre-circulated to all participants. The consensus group discussed the data and drafted an updated statement. Thereafter, the writing group summarised the results including the pre-circulated material and additional papers identified by a formal literature search up to December 2007. In this article current knowledge on the incidence, pathophysiology and prevention of traveller’s thrombosis is summarised. The assessment of individual risk is described and recommendations for prevention of traveller’s thrombosis are given, based upon the conclusions of the Hall Conference.

Abstract:
AbstractThe different models of consensus development conferences (CDC5) are analyzed in relation to democratic technology assessment. In some countries CDCs are mainly concerned with influencing the quality of clinical practice and thus are dominated by medical experts. In other countries, CDCs are directed towards the public and the decision makers on the political and administrative level. The Danish experience demonstrates that CDCs may be a forceful social technology with a strong potential to influence decisions about medical as well as non-medical technology

Abstract:
We consider the consensus conference as a model for the incorporation of lay perspectives within the assessment of new sciences and technologies. A consensus is a forum in which a group of laypeople questions experts about a controversial scientific or technological subject, assesses the experts' responses, reaches a consensus about the subject, and reports its conclusions at a press conference. Following a brief description of the development of consensus conferences in Denmark, we review the organization and the outcome of the first UK National Consensus Conference on Plant Biotechnology (UKNCC). The UKNCC is currently the subject of a detailed evaluation. At this stage, we are principally concerned to provide practical information about the organization of the conference. However, we also offer a preliminary assessment of the potential significance of this novel approach for the public understanding of science.

Abstract:
Helicobacter pyloriinfects approximately 50% of the world’s population and is a definitive cause of gastroduodenal disease (ie, gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcers) in children and adults. Four consensus conferences held around the globe have brought together clinicians, scientists, epidemiologists and health care economists to discuss the role of the gastric pathogenH pyloriin human gastroduodenal disease. At each of these conferences, the overriding objective was to reach a consensus on the development of practical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment ofH pylori-infected individuals. However, it was not until the CanadianH pyloriConsensus Conference, held in November 1997, that the issues ofH pyloriinfection in children were addressed. Therapies forH pyloriinfection in children, presented in part at the First Canadian PaediatricH pyloriConsensus Conference, held in Victoria, British Columbia, November 1998, are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract:
This case study explores how the Consensus Conference on the Mental Health of Emerging Adults, hosted by the Mental Health Commission of Canada in 2015, can impact mental health policy and practice in Canada. The study draws on interviews from 14 delegates who attended the conference. Participants praised innovations such as the inclusion of an emerging adult panel that provided feedback on all discussions, and efforts to make the consensus-building process meaningful in the Canadian policy context. Findings suggest that consensus conferences are a promising way to operationalize the Mental Health Strategy for Canada through policy and practice changes.

Abstract:
Since 1977, the Consensus Development Program of the Office of Medical Applications of Research (OMAR), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has sponsored more than 50 consensus development conferences (CDCs) on the safety and efficacy of important biomedical technologies. The aim of these conferences, described fully elsewhere (4), is to inform the health care community, and to some extent the public, of the status of emerging biomedical technologies and the need for change in the use of existing health-related technologies. OMAR has therefore, worked diligently to publicize conference findings among these audiences. Further, OMAR has sought to improve the effectiveness of these transfer activities by conducting assessments of the impact of CDCs on their primary audience, U.S. physicians.

Are Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the so-called E-democracy a source of citizen empowerment? To answer this questions we adpot different perspectives. We begin with the new techniques or procedures of citizen participation in the field of Participatory Technological Assesment (PTA), and purse with ITC assessed in a USA and a Japanese citizen conference. In a third step ITCs are considered as a new way of participating in consensus conferences (in France and Switzerland). Thanks to them we can compar real time debate and asynchronous on supported by ICT. Finally we scrutinize the hope of democracy in the age of network technology depending on the ambivalence of any techniques (material, procedural, or rational).

Abstract:
The flow chart, guidelines, and document describe the mechanism for patient care conferences. Because the need, process, and documentation of patient care conferences have been clarified, care conferences are now more consistent, efficient, and effective. Documentation streamlined the process of setting up care conferences by recording the following information: who was notified, who would attend, specific issues to be discussed, conference scheduling summary of plans and decisions made. Task force satisfaction was high because of a short timeline, clear problem definition, clear goals, team sponsorship, and a good end product. Use of continuous quality improvement techniques added to the success of this project, because there was a methodology for starting with a variable, unclear process and ending with a creative, efficient process. All members of the healthcare team and patients and families were satisfied, because the patient care conference was available to discuss specific issues and reach consensus on decisions about the patient's treatment plan at critical points during the patient's hospital course.

AbstractSeven consensus development conferences have been held in Sweden since 1982. The conferences, sponsored by the Swedish Medical Research Council and Spri, typically examine social, organizational, and economic aspects of technology, and therefore, generate consensus statements of interest not only to physicians but also to politicians and health administrators.The study presented here examines the influence of the first five consensus development conferences on politicians and health administrators. Data was obtained via a mail questionnaire and personal interviews with leading individuals in these groups. More than half of the respondents indicated that they had found the statements from one or more conferences to be of practical value as a basis for discussing specific technologies with medical staffs. In some cases the statements directly influenced political decisions.

Abstract:
We report a consensus conference on psychotic depression that addressed historic, classification, phenomenologic, epidemiologic, aetiologic, management and outcome issues. We were able to detail the impact of the information offered by having audience members complete questionnaires before and after the conference. The respondents indicated that the status of psychotic depression (as a separate type or as a more severe expression of depression) remains unclear; that delusions, hallucinations and severe psychomotor disturbance have high cross-sectional diagnostic weighting (while longitudinal information is of importance); that determinants include both genetic and organic factors; that most patients with this condition require admission to hospital; and that bilateral ECT is the most effective treatment. The answers to the questionnaires established areas where the audience did not modify their responses because they were already well-informed, others where their views were considerably changed (e.g. “psychotic’ episodes in those with a borderline personality disorder) and others where they modified their clinical reasoning (e.g. “if a “psychotic’ feature is mood-congruent then the condition must be an affective disorder’ became “if the patient has an affective disorder, the psychotic feature must be mood-congruent’). Finally, we make some recommendations for future consensus conferences.

Objectives: To analyze the response patterns and trends of 68 surveys of successive NIH consensus panels' views on the NIH consensus process.Methods: Each panel's responses were compared to an “average” panel's responses calculated by determining the mean response for each survey question across panels.Results: The results show a stable pattern of panelists' generally positive views. However, several conferences were judged very positively and some very negatively compared to the norm. Most negatively viewed conferences occurred early in the consensus program's history.Conclusions: The disparate perceptions are discussed and interpreted as reflecting favorable panels' views of recent changes in the NIH Consensus Development Program.

Abstract:
AbstractSocial comparison plays an important role in collective bargaining. However, due to self-serving bias, the bargaining parties rarely agree on appropriate referents. In this respect, Wisconsin teachers’ collective bargaining provides an intriguing case because there is consensus on an appropriate comparison group: the schools’ athletic conferences. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the use of athletic conferences as referents is institutionalized beyond their technical merits. Using conference realignment as a natural experiment, this paper shows that when the bargaining parties experienced conference realignment, they changed their comparison groups. Because this realignment can be regarded as exogenous to collective bargaining, such changes in comparison groups are unlikely to be accounted for by technical factors, thus providing support for institutional theory.

Abstract:
Introduction Many aspects of the management of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are controversial and the evidence for decision making is limited. Members of the European Reference Network for Rare Inherited Congenital Anomalies (ERNICA) conducted a consensus conference on the surgical management of EA/TEF based on expert opinions referring to the latest literature. Materials and Methods Nineteen ERNICA representatives from nine European countries participated in the conference. The conference was prepared by item generation, item prioritization by online survey, formulation of a final list containing the domains diagnostics, preoperative, operative, and postoperative management, and literature review. The 2-day conference was held in Berlin in October 2018. Anonymous voting was conducted via an internet-based system. Consensus was defined when 75% of the votes scored 6 to 9. Results Fifty-two items were generated with 116 relevant articles of which five studies (4.3%) were assigned as level-1evidence. Complete consensus (100%) was achieved on 20 items (38%), such as TEF closure by transfixing suture, esophageal anastomosis by interrupted sutures, and initiation of feeding 24 hours postoperatively. Consensus ≥75% was achieved on 37 items (71%), such as routine insertion of transanastomotic tube or maximum duration of thoracoscopy of 3 hours. Thirteen items (25%) were controversial (range of scores, 1–9). Eight of these (62%) did not reach consensus. Conclusion Participants of the conference reached significant consensus on the management of patients with EA/TEF. The consensus may facilitate standardization and development of generally accepted guidelines. The conference methodology may serve as a blueprint for further conferences on the management of congenital malformations in pediatric surgery.

The fatality rate of scrub typhus infection with septic shock is quite high if timely and correct diagnosis and treatment are not obtained. There are few studies in the literature on the subject of holding TRM conferences to discuss the condition and reach a consensus on treatment. A TRM conference has the significance of early intervention by the medical team and consensus on therapy from the medical doctors and family members. We report the case of scrub typhus infection with septic shock. On the day the patient was hospitalized, the medical team held a TRM conference and invited family members to attend. We found that the eschar on the patient may be related to scrub typhus, which was later confirmed by a positive Weil-Felix test and PCR analysis. Under the consensus treatment, the patient’s condition improved considerably within the next day. The most significant difference between the TRM conference and the clinical specialist’s consultation is that it can quickly narrow the cognitive gap between doctors and family members and reach a consensus on the patient’s therapy strategy, truly avoid medical disputes, and effectively share the stress of attending physician. In this case report, we highlight the significance of the TRM conference.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess the impact of guidelines on drug use issued by a consensus conference on polycythemia vera held in Paris in June 1993. 32Phosphorus (32P) was recommended for patients over 70 and/or at risk, whereas pipobroman and hydroxyurea were recommended for patients under 70.Methods: A questionnaire was sent to all 119 departments of nuclear medicine in France 1 year after the conference to find out whether and how often they measured plasma volume and red cell mass (the recommended diagnostic tests for polycythemia vera). Time-series analyses were performed on sales of 32P, pipobroman (both virtually exclusively prescribed for polycythemia), and hydroxyurea over a 4-year span (January 1992–December 1995).Results: The average number of plasma volume determinations per year did not change significantly after the conference (22 ± 26 before vs 21 ± 25 after). 32P and pipobroman sales were stable until July 1993, when 32P sales decreased while pipobroman sales rose steadily. Hydroxyurea sales increased over the whole period with no change in trend after the guidelines were published.Conclusions: The guidelines apparently influenced clinical practice since sales of drugs that are specifically used to treat polycythemia vera showed clear changes in trend after publication of the guidelines. This type of study seems to be an effective way of assessing the impact of consensus conferences.

Abstract:
Following the rapid spread of a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), nearly all countries have introduced temporary restrictions affecting daily life, with “social distancing” as a key intervention for slowing the spread of the virus. Despite the pandemic, the development or actualization of medical guidelines, especially in the rapidly changing field of oncology, needs to be continued to provide up-to-date evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for shared decision making and maintaining the treatment quality for patients. In this viewpoint, we describe the potential strengths and limitations of online conferences for medical guideline development. This viewpoint will assist guideline developers in evaluating whether online conferences are an appropriate tool for their guideline conference and audience.
