Consensus guidelines on training, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of trigeminal nerve injuries

The aim was to present expert-based guidelines on the management of trigeminal nerve injuries. A two-round multidisciplinary Delphi study was conducted amongst international trigeminal nerve injury experts with a set of statements and three summary flowcharts using a nine-point Likert scale (1  = strongly disagree; 9 = strongly agree). An item was deemed appropriate if the median panel score was within the range of 7–9, undecided if the score was 4–6, and inappropriate if the score was 1–3. Consensus was achieved if at least 75% of panelists scored within one range.
