Abstract
Introduction
The objectives of this study were to identify consensus priority research questions according to members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), and to explore differences in priorities according to specific membership subgroups.
Methods
A modified Delphi study was conducted including active members of SAGES. An initial list of research questions was compiled by members of 26 SAGES Committees and Task Forces, and was further refined by the SAGES Delphi Task Force. The questions were divided into five research categories: (1) Surgical Outcomes; (2) Education, Training, and Simulation; (3) Health Services Research; (4) New Technology; and (5) Artificial Intelligence. Delphi respondents were asked to rank each question with regards to its importance in the field of gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery (1—low; 5—high). “Priority” was defined as a single-round mean score of ≥ 3.5, and “consensus” as a single-round standard deviation < 1.0. Subgroup analyses were performed according to a priori selected respondent characteristics.
Results
The total number of respondents for each round was: Round 1 (n = 407); Round 2 (n = 569); Round 3 (n = 273). In each round, the majority of respondents were male (Round 1: 77.4%; Round 2: 77.1%; Round 3: 76.7%), self-identified as academic (vs. community) surgeons (Round 1: 57.1%; Round 2: 61.1%; Round 3: 60.2%), and practiced in North America (Round 1: 71.8%; Round 2: 70.8%; Round 3: 75.9%). A total of 29 out of 122 research questions met criteria for both “priority” and “consensus”—Surgical Outcomes, n = 6; Education, Training, and Simulation, n = 9; Health Services Research, n = 5; New Technology, n = 5; and Artificial Intelligence, n = 4.
Conclusions
Consensus priority research questions in gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgery were identified across five different research categories. These results can provide direction and areas of interest for funding and investigation for future studies.
