Development of Context-Adapted Quality Indicators for Early Sepsis Care in Sub-Saharan Africa - A Modified Delphi Consensus Procedure

8. september 2026 opdateret af: Claudia Spies, Charite University, Berlin, Germany

The research project is an anonymous, prospective, non-interventional consensus study in the form of a modified Delphi method, consisting of three online surveys and structured feedback meetings without recording. The goal is the structured evaluation and consolidation of expert assessments to develop context-adapted quality indicators and operationalize them for early sepsis care in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The expert panel will be recruited through purposive sampling via existing national and international sepsis networks (including the Sub-Saharan African Consortium for the Advancement of Innovative Research and Care in Africa, "STAIRS"), scientific collaborations, and personal invitations from the study team in Berlin.

Invited are professionals with proven experience in sepsis care or sepsis research in sub-Saharan Africa, including physicians, nurses, researchers, and other healthcare professionals involved in acute care and quality assurance.

For the first Delphi round, the investigators plan to recruit approximately 10-15 experts. In a second recruitment phase, participants may nominate additional experts with relevant expertise (snowball sampling). The total number of panel members should not exceed 30-45.
