Defining the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) research agenda: A Delphi consensus project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite major advances in surgical and medical management, only one-third of pediatric liver transplant (LT) recipients remain morbidity-free at 10 years. The Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) published a research agenda over 10 years ago, and much progress has been made since then. An updated consensus-driven SPLIT research agenda could guide future research and funding priorities. We aimed to identify and prioritize key research needs across the continuum of pediatric LT care using a modified Delphi consensus approach.

Methods

We conducted a three-round modified Delphi process among SPLIT members. In round 1, participants submitted open-ended research priorities. In round 2, the Steering Committee synthesized these into 156 unique statements for
