| Popis: | Rationale Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases are difficult-to-treat infections, especially in lung transplant (LTx) candidates. Currently, there is a paucity of recommendations on the management of NTM infections in LTx, focusing on Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), M. abscessus and M. kansasii. Methods Pulmonologists, infectious disease specialists, LTx surgeons and Delphi experts with expertise in NTM were recruited. A patient representative was also invited. Three questionnaires comprising questions with multiple response statements were distributed to panellists. Delphi methodology with a Likert scale of 11 points (5 to −5) was applied to define the agreement between experts. Responses from the first two questionnaires were collated to develop a final questionnaire. The consensus was described as a median rating >4 or |
