Introduction:
Currently there is no consistent and widely accepted approach to the diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction/inducible laryngeal obstruction (VCD/ILO). Harmonised diagnostic methods are vital to enable optimal diagnosis, advance management and enable research. We aim to obtain consensus on how expert clinicians recognise and diagnose VCD/ILO.
Methods And Analysis:
Two-round modified Delphi, with workshop validation.
Ethics And Dissemination:
Institutional Board Review was obtained from the Monash Health Human Research Ethics Committee. The dissemination plan is for presentation and publication.
Registration Details:
Registered at Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12621001520820p.
