Table 2 Questionnaire for the Delphi process

Questionnaire
Question #1Is the Park’s classification optimal to be reported by MRI/EAUS for the characterization of the primary tract?
Question #2Should the Park’s classification be modified or supplemented?
Question #3Is the location of the primary tract on a clock dial optimal to be reported by MRI/EAUS, or should it be modified?
Question #4Is the height of the primary tract properly described (≤ 30% and > 30%)?
Question #5Is the inclusion of the diameter of the fistula in the template correct or should be modified?
Question #6Should a fistula tract angle be added to the template?
Question #7Are secondary tracts precisely defined: Number, location, and type?
Question #8Are internal opening items, such as number, location on a clock dial, and patency complete or require completion?
Question #9Is information on associated abscess, such as location according to the Corman classification, accurate?
Question #10Is it sufficient to report sphincter integrity, location of damage, and percentage of sphincter involved?
Question #11Is the graphic presentation of the fistula included in a template appropriate or it should be modified?
Question #12Should a video describing the fistula details (if permitted by the rules) supplement the template of the fistula?
Question #13Does the template include all the most relevant findings for the treatment decisions or other additional elements of the fistula should be included in the template?
Question #14The following definitions are relevant for examiners describing anal fistulas by MRI and EAUS. Do you accept them in their current form, or do they require modification or addition? In the latter case, please suggest a correction
