Agreeing Language in Veterinary Endocrinology (ALIVE): Cushing’s Syndrome and Hypoadrenocorticism—A Modified Delphi-Method-Based System to Create Consensus Definitions
Abstrak
Simple Summary To make progress in the field of hormonal diseases in companion animals, it helps when researchers, clinicians, and educators use the same language. Currently, there is no consensus on basic concepts such as what constitutes the correct definition of diseases affecting the adrenal glands, important hormone-producing glands situated next to the kidneys. This publication reports on the second cycle of a novel project called “Agreeing Language in Veterinary Endocrinology” (ALIVE) that brings experts and those interested in the field together to try and achieve consensus on such disease definitions. The cycle’s methods were adapted from previous ones to improve efficiency and were completed successfully, accomplishing a majority-based consensus. It also delivered agreement on diagnostic criteria for adrenal diseases in companion animals. It is hoped the work will improve education, diagnosis, and treatment in this field, ultimately leading to improvements in the quality of life of animals suffering from adrenal disease.
