Delphi survey data for an international consensus radiological monitoring follow-up protocol of proximal humerus fractures

The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized protocol for an image-based monitoring of PHF for joint-preserving treatment options, including a minimum set of descriptors or definitions of features of radiographic images, to be applied in clinical routine practice and studies. An international panel of experienced shoulder trauma surgeons was selected from AO Trauma members following personal invitation. Eligible panel members had to report sufficient expertise defined as treating more than 20 PHF annually and having more than 5 years of experience in orthopedic trauma. We implemented a Delphi exercise with on-line surveys using REDCap data capture system. Our work confirmed the need for clear definitions of radiological features that should be considered in the follow-up of proximal humeral fractures. It has resulted in the development of an international consensus monitoring protocol for PHF treatment with a structured core set of radiological parameters. We provide here survey screenshots (PDF), response datasets (Log file with codebook, Stata version 14 and comma-delimited csv data file format), and descriptive reports (PDF format including text, response listing and tables).

本研究旨在针对保关节治疗方案下的肱骨近端骨折（Proximal Humeral Fractures，PHF）影像监测制定标准化方案，其中包含放射影像特征的最小描述集与定义集，可应用于临床常规实践与相关研究。本研究通过个人邀请的方式，从AO创伤学会（AO Trauma）成员中遴选了一支由经验丰富的肩部创伤外科医师组成的国际专家组。合格的专家组组员需具备足够的专业资质：每年接诊超过20例PHF病例，且拥有5年以上骨科创伤临床经验。本研究采用德尔菲法，借助REDCap数据采集系统开展线上问卷调研。本研究证实，肱骨近端骨折随访过程中需明确相关放射学特征的定义。最终，本研究形成了一套包含结构化核心放射学参数集的PHF治疗国际共识性监测方案。本次研究公开的资料包括：调研截图（PDF格式）、应答数据集（含编码手册的日志文件、Stata 14版本格式文件以及逗号分隔值CSV数据文件格式），以及描述性报告（PDF格式，包含文本、应答清单与表格）。
