Overview

Consensus study develops a standardized outcome measurement set for pouch anal and vaginal fistulae, aiming to improve research consistency.

Key Points

  • The aim is to create a core outcome measurement set (PAVFCOMS) for pouch anal and vaginal fistulae to enhance consistency in outcome reporting.
  • Conducted a systematic review to identify outcome measurement instruments used in pouch anal and vaginal fistula research.
  • Performed a two-round international Delphi consensus process with various stakeholders.
  • Engaged in a final stakeholder meeting to confirm outcome measures and timing for assessment.
  • 98% of participants completed both Delphi rounds, indicating strong engagement.
  • The consensus defined clinical and radiological assessments for fistula healing at 3, 6, and 12 months.
  • Identified main indicators, including continence and quality of life, to be measured post-intervention.
