我们感谢Chiun-Feng Tsai及其同事对我们关于纤维化疾病分类的德尔菲研究1的兴趣，并感谢有机会做出回应。我们注意到对反应偏差的关切。虽然我们已经报告了第一轮响应者的地理区域和专业，但我们无法从随后的调查中收集这一信息。该调查报告已在国际上与专家分享并发布，主要来自欧洲和美洲的受访者达成了共识。我们意识到，这些反应可能与地球仪其他地方的反应不同，并承认这是这项工作的一个局限。虽然我们试图尽可能广泛地传播调查，但最终仅限于包括那些回答的人。在后来的几轮调查中，回答的数量更加有限，这在所有疾病专科中都是一致的（表1）。神经系统和生殖系统在随后的几轮中没有得到充分的代表，无法达成共识，反而促成了临床一致。我们知道，呼吸系统，例如有一个良好的反应率在整个，但其他下降。同样，我们认识到这是一个限制，但我们几乎无法控制。
We thank the Chiun-Feng Tsai and colleagues for their interest in our Delphi study on the classification of fibrotic disease 1 and are grateful for the opportunity to respond. We note the concern of response bias. While we have reported on both the geographical region and speciality of the first round responders, we were unable to collect this information from subsequent survey rounds. The survey was shared and signposted to experts internationally, and consensus drawn predominantly from respondents who were largely situated in Europe and the Americas. We are aware that these responses may differ from those from other parts of the globe and accept that as a limitation of this work. While we tried to disseminate the survey as widely as possible, we were ultimately limited to including those who responded.The number of responses were more limited in later rounds, which was consistent across all disease specialties (Table 1). Nervous and reproductive systems were not sufficiently represented in subsequent rounds for consensus definition, contributing instead to clinical agreement. We are aware that respiratory, eg had a good response rate throughout, but others dropped off. Again, we recognize this as a limitation but something we had little control over.
