Abstract

Objective: The Delphi questionnaire was used to evaluate and analyse 109 symptoms of 8 categories in the pool of Chinese medical evidence of tumours, and was used to formulate the "Tumour Disease Mechanism Evaluation Scale", with the aim of establishing a unified and standardized criterion for the clinical diagnosis of tumours. Methods: The questionnaire content of the "Eight Methods of Tumour Disease Mechanisms" was formulated by collating disease entries through literature review. Experts' opinions were collected through the Delphi method, and the degree of coordination and concentration of experts were statistically analysed after the collection. Results: Through two rounds of Delphi questionnaire analysis, experts' enthusiasm was 100%, the authority coefficient of the first-level index was 0.685, the second-level index was 0.065 and 0.593, and six indexes with poor correlation were deleted. Conclusion: The experts participating in this survey are representative, with high motivation and good coordination of their opinions on the questionnaire entries, and the "Tumour Disease Mechanism Identification and Evaluation Scale" formulated using this questionnaire has practical value.
