About this trial

DEL-DIP is a prospective observational study employing a Delphi methodology (at least two online rounds) to elicit and consolidate the views of an expert panel within the INNOPREV project. The study aims to develop operational recommendations to support the coordinated implementation of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) and wearable devices in cardiovascular prevention. Specifically, it addresses the following research question: which recommendations and requirements-genomic, digital, and clinical/organizational-are necessary to integrate PRS and wearable technologies into routine practice and healthcare services, and for which of these elements do experts achieve consensus (defined as a Content Validity Index, CVI, \> 79%)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Achievement of expert-panel consensus on recommendations for the implementation of PRS and wearable devices, as assessed by the Content Validity Index (CVI)

Achievement of consensus among the expert panel on the proposed recommendations. Consensus will be defined, for each item, as a Content Validity Index (CVI) \> 79%, where the CVI represents the proportion of experts assigning a rating of 4 or 5

Time frame
At the end of the Delphi process (up to 4 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Identification of recommendations with partial agreement (CVI 70-79%)

Identification of items/recommendations with a Content Validity Index (CVI) between 70% and 79%, indicating the need for item revision and/or additional Delphi rounds

Time frame
After each Delphi round, through completion of the process (up to 4 months)
2

Development of the final set of recommendations, structured by domain (genomic, digital, and clinical/organizational)

Production of the final set of recommendations, organized by domain (genomic, digital, and clinical/organizational)

Time frame
At completion of the Delphi process (up to 4 months)
3

Stability of responses across successive rounds (assessment of changes in CVI)

Assessment of response stability by comparing, for each item, changes in the CVI across successive Delphi rounds

Time frame
Between successive Delphi rounds, until completion of the process (up to 4 months)
