Evaluation of word cloud utility in generating PSP summary questions
AO Spine RECODE-DCM contained several parallel consensus processes and included three main stakeholder groups: (1) spinal surgeons, (2) PwDCM and their supporters, (3) other healthcare professionals. Consent was obtained from all participants. For the PSP arm of RECODE-DCM, participants were randomised by stakeholder group using a 1:1 computerised block randomisation protocol, to see the traditional PSP survey alone, or the traditional PSP survey followed by the word clouds (Fig. Incorporation of word clouds in the PSP. Participants allocated to the AO Spine RECODE-DCM PSP were categorised by stakeholder group (spinal surgeons, PwDCM and their supporters, other healthcare professionals). Participants within each stakeholder group were randomly allocated to word cloud or no word cloud streams using a computerised 1:1 block randomisation protocol. Participants in the word cloud stream were presented with the word clouds after the standard survey seen by the non-word cloud group and then given the opportunity to submit further uncertainties
