Intracranial multimodal monitoring in neurocritical care (Neurocore-iMMM): an open, decentralized consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial multimodal monitoring (iMMM) is increasingly used in neurocritical care, but a lack of standardization hinders its evidence-based development. Here, we devised core outcome sets (COS) and reporting guidelines to harmonize iMMM practices and research.

Methods

An open, decentralized, three-round Delphi consensus study involved experts between December 2023 and June 2024. Items-spanning three domains: (i) patient characteristics, (ii) practices, and (iii) outcomes-with ≥ 75% agreement were classified as strong agreement, while those with 50-75% were reconsidered in subsequent rounds, requiring ≥ 66% for moderate agreement.

Results

An international, multidisciplinary panel comprised 58 neurocritical physicians and researchers with low attrition (12
