Overview

Delphi study reached consensus on definitions of components for upper extremity post thrombotic syndrome, suggesting further clinical application.

Key Points

  • In the final Delphi round, 96% consensus was achieved for symptoms like arm fatigue and chronic pain.
  • The study involved 53 experts in vascular health, including surgeons and physical therapists, focusing on a standardized diagnosis score.
  • Validation of the UE-PTS score in a patient cohort is the next step towards clinical implementation.
