Building a transdisciplinary expert consensus on the cognitive drivers of performance under pressure: An international multi-panel Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The ability to perform optimally under pressure is critical across many occupations, including the military, first responders, and competitive sport. Despite recognition that such performance depends on a range of cognitive factors, how common these factors are across performance domains remains unclear. The current study sought to integrate existing knowledge in the performance field in the form of a transdisciplinary expert consensus on the cognitive mechanisms that underlie performance under pressure.

Methods

International experts were recruited from four performance domains [(i) Defense; (ii) Competitive Sport; (iii) Civilian High-stakes; and (iv) Performance Neuroscience]. Experts rated constructs from the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework (and several expert-suggested constructs) across successive rounds, until all constructs reached consensus for inclusion or were eliminated. Finally, included constructs were ranked for their relative importance.

Results

Sixty-eight experts completed the first Delphi round, with 94% of experts retained by the end of the Delphi process. The following 10 constructs reached consensus across all four panels (in order of overall ranking): (1) Attention; (2) Cognitive Control-Performance Monitoring; (3) Arousal and Regulatory Systems-Arousal; (4) Cognitive Control-Goal Selection, Updating, Representation, and Maintenance; (5) Cognitive Control-Response Selection and Inhibition/Suppression; (6) Working memory-Flexible Updating; (7) Working memory-Active Maintenance; (8) Perception and Understanding of Self-Self-knowledge; (9) Working memory-Interference Control, and (10) Expert-suggested-Shifting.

Discussion

Our results identify a set of transdisciplinary neuroscience-informed constructs, validated through expert consensus. This expert consensus is critical to standardizing cognitive assessment and informing mechanism-targeted interventions in the broader field of human performance optimization.

Project description:Background and objectiveElevated intrarenal pressure (IRP) may increase the risk of complications in patients undergoing ureteroscopy. As there is limited clarity on a threshold value for high IRP, how to manage high IRP, or which patients are at greater risk of complications due to high IRP, we used the Delphi methodology to understand expert opinion in this area.MethodsThe Delphi process comprised two online surveys and an in-person meeting. During the in-person meeting, areas of disagreement and consensus were explored. Consensus statements were developed and voted on to determine the level of consensus. The study was granted a waiver by HML IRB Research and Ethics (reference number 2193).Key findings and limitationsThe pan-European panel started with 12 and ended with 11 experienced endourologists. Eleven consensus statements were developed. The statements cover topics such as the definition of high IRP, complications linked to high IRP, and patient risk factors for these complications. After anonymous voting, consensus was achieved for all the statements. Two had a strong level and nine had a moderate level of agreement. There was no consensus on an IRP threshold, although the majority would be concerned for patient safety at a pressure above 61-80 cm H2O.Conclusions and clinical implicationsAny IRP above normal physiological levels should be considered high. High IRP during ureteroscopy is a concern for patient safety. It is important to understand links between high IRP, patient characteristics, and complications. We call for additional research to better understand these risks and to inform refinements to clinical practice.Patient summaryA group of experts were asked their opinion on pressure within the kidney (intrarenal pressure, IRP) during a procedure called ureteroscopy (URS), when a narrow telescope is passed through the bladder and into the tube connected to the kidney. Statements that the panel agreed on were developed. These statements show that there is a concern about high IRP during URS as it may be linked to a higher risk of complications for the patient. More research is needed to better understand high IRP and its link to patient outcomes.
