Invitation to participate in an International Delphi Study

Dear HKPA Members,
 

You are invited to participate in an international Delphi study led by the International Taskforce on Diagnosis and Management of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. It aims to determine the use and perceived appropriateness of different questionnaires or wearable sensors as the core outcome set for evaluating the clinical conditions of patients with LSS. Your participation will contribute to bridging the knowledge gap in this area and informing future clinical practice.

To participate, you can simply click on the following link:

https://hkpuhealthandsocial.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_en6BC8tj0Kx6qyy

The questionnaire will only take 5-10 minutes to complete, and all responses will be treated with strict confidentiality. You may find it easier to answer it using a tablet or a computer.

Participation is voluntary, and participants can withdraw at any time without penalty. Please note that this study has received approval from the IRB at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HSEARS20230824002).

Thank you for considering our invitation. 

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me via email at arnold.wong@polyu.edu.hk

Yours faithfully,

Prof. Markus Melloh, Prof. Christy Tomkins-Lane, Dr. Arnold Wong, and Dr. David Anderson
The International Taskforce on Diagnosis and Management of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
