Adaptive designs CONSORT Extension: Delphi survey datasets

The ACE Project aims to develop a consensus-driven reporting guidance tailored for ADs in the form of a CONSORT extension. For transparency, this repository contains Stata anonymised datasets that were generated during the two-stage Delphi survey rounds and informed the guideline development process. This includes the registration data with demographics and characteristics of participants who registered to take part and the survey ratings across the two rounds.<br>All participants consented to take part in this Delphi study. Ethics approval was granted by the REC of ScHARR at the University of Sheffield (ref: 012041).<br>The ACE Project is jointly funded by the NIHR and MRC HTMR, and is led by a multidisciplinary Steering Working Group of international experts in collaboration with the CONSORT Executive Group and the MRC HTMR Adaptive Designs Working Group.<br>

ACE项目旨在以CONSORT扩展规范（CONSORT extension）的形式，开发一套以共识为导向的报告指南，专为自适应设计（Adaptive Designs, ADs）制定。
为保障研究透明度，本仓库收录了两阶段德尔菲调查（Delphi survey）轮次中生成、且为指南制定工作提供依据的Stata匿名数据集，涵盖注册参与者的人口统计学信息与基本特征，以及两轮调查的评分数据。
所有参与者均已签署本德尔菲研究的知情同意书。本研究已获得谢菲尔德大学健康与相关研究学院（School of Health and Related Research, ScHARR）研究伦理委员会（Research Ethics Committee, REC）的伦理批准，批准号为012041。
本项目由英国国家卫生研究院（National Institute for Health Research, NIHR）与英国医学研究委员会健康技术与医学研究部（Medical Research Council Health Technology and Medical Research, MRC HTMR）联合资助，由国际专家组成的多学科指导工作组牵头，并与CONSORT执行小组及MRC HTMR自适应设计工作组合作开展。
