- A Consensus Statement is defined as a written document that
represents the collective opinions of a convened expert panel. The opinions expressed in
the Consensus Statement are derived by a systematic approach and a traditional literature review where
randomized control trials do not commonly exist. “Suggestions made” in Consensus Statements are derived
by this standardized process.
