DELPHI CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS ON STANDARDIZING POST-ERCP PANCREATITIS DEFINITIONS, RESEARCH PRIORITIES — Johns Hopkins University

Delphi Consensus Recommendations on Standardizing Post-ERCP Pancreatitis Definitions and Research Priorities

Welcome to the expert review of the proposed PEP (Post-ERCP Pancreatitis) Delphi consensus study. Please review each question and provide your assessment. Your responses will help refine the study design before the formal Delphi rounds begin. All review submissions are anonymous.

Participation consists of completing an online questionnaire addressing PEP definitions, risk factors, and research priorities. Each questionnaire requires approximately 20–30 minutes to complete.

Your contributions will help establish consensus guidelines with the potential to enhance research quality and improve clinical care for patients undergoing ERCP.

All individual responses will remain strictly confidential and anonymized. Fellow panelists will not be able to identify your responses, and published results will present only aggregate data with no individually identifiable information.

Participation is entirely voluntary. You may withdraw at any time without consequence. Withdrawal will have no impact on your professional relationship with the investigators or Johns Hopkins University. There is no monetary compensation associated with this study.
