RIDECLAS: Delphi Classification of RICA Pathway Recommendations (RIDECLAS)
22 mai 2026 mis à jour par: Jose-M Ramirez, Universidad de Zaragoza
Delphi Study for the Classification of Recommendations for the RICA Pathway (Enhanced Recovery in Adult Surgery)
RIDECLAS is an observational, prospective, non-interventional consensus study using a modified Delphi methodology.
The study aims to obtain expert consensus on the classification and final formulation of recommendations for the RICA Pathway, an enhanced recovery pathway for adult surgery.
Participants will be healthcare professionals with experience in enhanced recovery, perioperative medicine, surgery, anesthesiology, nursing, rehabilitation, or related disciplines.
Experts will complete sequential online questionnaires.
Individual responses will remain confidential, and aggregated anonymized feedback will be provided between Delphi rounds.
The study does not involve patients, clinical interventions, biological samples, drugs, or medical devices.

Description détaillée
This study will use a modified Delphi process conducted remotely through electronic questionnaires.
A coordinating committee will prepare an initial list of recommendations based on the previous RICA Pathway document and updated evidence.
Expert panelists will rate each recommendation using a 1-to-9 Likert scale and may provide free-text comments.
Two Delphi rounds are planned, with a third round if needed for items without sufficient consensus or for reformulated statements.
Between rounds, participants will receive aggregated and anonymized feedback, including measures of agreement, median scores, dispersion, and a summary of comments.
Consensus for acceptance is predefined as at least 75% of ratings in the 7-9 range and no more than 15% in the 1-3 range.
Consensus for rejection is predefined as at least 75% of ratings in the 1-3 range and no more than 15% in the 7-9 range.
Items not meeting consensus criteria may be reassessed in subsequent rounds.
The analysis will be descriptive and will include response rates, attrition between rounds, item-level agreement, median scores, interquartile ranges, and qualitative thematic review of comments.

Description du régime IPD
Individual participant data will not be shared.
This is a modified Delphi consensus study involving expert panelists rather than patients.
Individual responses will be treated confidentially, stored in coded form, and analyzed and reported only in aggregate.
Sharing individual-level responses could compromise participant confidentiality and may affect the independence of expert judgment in the Delphi process.
Aggregated results, consensus levels, and methodological details will be reported in the final publication.
