Why the study?
Data regarding vascular access device use and outcomes are limited, partly due to the absence of guidance on what variables should be collected to assess patient outcomes.
An international Delphi consensus study established a 50-item minimum dataset to standardize data collection and benchmark clinical practice for vascular access devices.

May standardize vascular access data collection internationally; leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
Schults et al. (2020) studied Vascular access device use and outcomes (n=64). Delphi consensus procedure for a vascular access minimum dataset was evaluated on Consensus (≥70% agreement) on items to be included in a minimum dataset for vascular access devices. A modified Delphi consensus study involving 64 international healthcare professionals identified 50 items across five domains required for a minimum dataset to track vascular access device outcomes.
