Abstrakt: | Background: Despite the recent emphasis on promoting international collaborations within orthopaedic surgery, criteria for determining the strengths of such partnerships has not been established. The purpose of this study was to evaluate orthopaedic experts' perceptions of the most valuable characteristics of international academic partnerships. Methods: This study was conducted using a modified Delphi methodology. Experts were identified through the Consortium of Orthopaedic Academic Traumatologists (COACT). Responses were collected from February to September 2022. Three rounds of surveys listing possible topics on a 5-point Likert scale were used to develop consensus among a group of experts. Consensus criteria for topic inclusion in the final scale was determined as a rating of "strongly agree" or "agree" by ≥70% of the participants in the third survey. Results: The Round 1 survey was distributed to 96 invited participants within the COACT network, of which 50 experts (52.1%) completed the first survey. Consensus was reached on 54 topics organized into the following 5 categories: Research, Advocacy/Leadership, Training/Surgical Skills, Education/Knowledge Exchange, and Sustainability and Safety (RATES Criteria). Conclusions: Determining the most valuable characteristics of successful international academic partnerships can lead to more sustainable, mutually beneficial collaborations. The criteria identified in this study can provide the foundation for developing new partnerships and assessing existing ones.
