método Delphi, consensos, guías clínicas, expertosResumen
La metodología Delphi es un proceso estructurado e iterativo de consenso entre expertos que emplea cuestionarios anónimos, retroalimentación controlada y resúmenes estadísticos a lo largo de rondas sucesivas para abordar cuestiones complejas o inciertas. Existe un amplio consenso en la literatura de que el método Delphi es adecuado para alcanzar acuerdos sobre guías clínicas, especialmente cuando la evidencia directa de alta calidad es incompleta o contradictoria.
