A large cohort study of high-risk population of stroke based on the real world is of great significance for stroke prevention and control. However, the data element structures, variable definitions and scopes of regional big data platforms are inconsistent, which will be an obstacle for data sharing, summary, and analysis among different regions. In this study, we formed an expert consensus on a unified minimum dataset standard for the cohort study of high-risk population of stroke, considering the categories and definitions of risk factors of stroke, and the existing database of the regional big data platforms. The consensus shall provide a reference for the comparison, integration, and sharing of real world data within and between regions, and play an important role in the cohort study on risk factors of stroke, as well as the implementation and evaluation of prevention and control measures.

To further standardize the sedation and analgesia treatment for neurocritical care patients, the National Center for Healthcare Quality Management in Neurological Diseases and Chinese Society of Critical Care Medicine organized national experts in this fields to form Working group of the Expert consensus on sedation and analgesia for neurocritical care patients in order to update the Expert consensus on sedation and analgesia for patients with severe brain injury (2013) based on evidence-based medicine. This update aims to provide scientific guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of neurocritical care patients. The working group followed the definition of clinical practice guidelines by the Institution of Medicine (IOM) and the World Health Organization guidelines development handbook and Guidelines for the formulation/revision of clinical guidelines in China (2022) to register and draft the Expert consensus on sedation and analgesia for neurocritical care patients. The working group will strictly adhere to the consensus development process to formulate and publish the Expert consensus on sedation and analgesia for neurocritical care patients (2023). This protocol primarily introduces the development methodology and process of the Expert consensus on sedation and analgesia for neurocritical care patients (2023), including the purpose of the update, the target population, the composition of the consensus development working group, the presentation and collection of clinical questions, evidence evaluation and summarization, and the generation of recommended opinions. This will make the consensus development process more standardized and transparent.
