Determining clinically meaningful thresholds for innovative burn care products to reduce autograft: A US burn surgeon Delphi panel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reducing the amount of donor skin needed for definitive wound closure can improve outcomes in patients with severe burns. This Delphi Consensus Panel (DCP) aimed to achieve expert consensus on the percentage reduction in donor skin for autograft that constitutes a clinically meaningful benefit. A two-round DCP of fifteen US burn surgeons was conducted via a web-based survey platform. Fourteen panelists (93.3%) completed both rounds. In Round 2, consensus, defined as ≥70% agreement, was achieved for five of the seven consensus statements. All panelists agreed that a clinically meaningful reduction in the amount of donor skin required would facilitate wound management and decrease donor site morbidity experienced by patients. Furthermore, based on three treatment scenarios, consensus was achieved for a clinically meaningful reduction in the amount of donor skin required for autograft for the adult population in deep partial-thickness and full-thickness burns. Findings from this DCP indicate that an innovative cellular and/or tissue product that would reduce the needed amount of donor skin, by the identified thresholds, has the potential to improve the outcomes for patients with severe burn injuries in a meaningful way.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
