Defining standards and core outcomes for clinical trials in prehabilitation for colorectal surgery (DiSCO): modified Delphi methodology to achieve patient and healthcare professional consensus

Study defined core standards and core outcomes for prehabilitation for all types of colorectal surgery.Co-produced by patients and healthcare professionals internationally.Consensus achieved on 33 core standards (what prehabilitation should include, who should be offered prehabilitation and who should be part of the prehabilitation team) and 21 core outcomes.The DiSCO core standards and core outcomes should be implemented into future colorectal prehabilitation research to achieve standardization, allow study comparison and expedite translation into patient care.
