Despite the worldwide increasing request of education on paediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound (PedMSUS), content, conduct and format of PedMSUS courses have never been internationally agreed.
To produce educational procedures for the conduct, content and format of EULAR/PReS PedMSUS courses.
After a systemic literature review and expert opinion collection, a panel of items for the development of procedures on PedMSUS courses was identified. Agreement on the items was assessed through Delphi surveys among a taskforce of 24 members, which included 18 experts in PedMSUS (8 rheumatologists, 1 radiologist, 9 paediatric rheumatologists), 1 methodologist and rheumatologist expert in MSUS, 2 patient research partners, 1 health professional in rheumatology and 2 EMEUNET/EMERGE members, from 8 different European countries. Each item was assessed through a 5-point Likert scale (0, full disagreement; 5, full agreement); agreement was reached for 75% of answers rating 4-5. All items with agreement were included in the preliminary core set of educational procedures, which underwent external assessment by a broader Consensus group (Faculty and Tutors of previous EULAR PedMSUS courses and PReS Imaging Working Party members), through Delphi survey.
Two Delphi surveys produced the preliminary core set of procedures for basic, intermediate, advanced and teach-the-teachers (TTT) PedMSUS courses. A Delphi survey within the Consensus group produced agreement on the proposed procedures.
Shared EULAR/PReS procedures for the conduct, content and format of basic, intermediate, advanced and TTT PedMSUS courses were identified on international basis.
尽管全世界对儿科肌肉骨骼超声（PedMSUS）教育的需求不断增加，但 PedMSUS 课程的内容、进行方式和形式从未在国际上达成一致。
制定关于 EULAR/PReS PedMSUS 课程进行方式、内容和形式的教育程序。
在系统文献回顾和专家意见收集后，确定了用于开发 PedMSUS 课程程序的项目小组。通过对包括 18 名 PedMSUS 专家（8 名风湿病学家、1 名放射科医生、9 名儿科风湿病学家）、1 名 MSUS 方法学家和风湿病学家专家、2 名患者研究合作伙伴、1 名风湿病学健康专业人员和 2 名 EMEUNET/EMERGE 成员的 24 名成员组成的工作组进行 Delphi 调查，评估对项目的意见达成一致。每个项目均通过 5 分李克特量表（0，完全不同意；5，完全同意）进行评估；评分 4-5 的回答中，有 75%的人表示同意。所有达成一致的项目均包含在初步的核心教育程序集中，该程序集通过 Delphi 调查由更广泛的共识小组（以前的 EULAR PedMSUS 课程的教师和导师以及 PReS 成像工作组的成员）进行外部评估。
两轮 Delphi 调查得出了基础、中级、高级和教师培训（TTT）PedMSUS 课程的初步核心程序集。共识小组的 Delphi 调查就拟议程序达成了一致。
在国际基础上确定了基本、中级、高级和 TTT PedMSUS 课程的 EULAR/PReS 课程进行方式、内容和形式的共享程序。
