Prehabilitation research priorities according to experts’, patients’, and carers’ views. Data presented as percentage. Research priorities listed in descending order from highest priority to lowest priority according to patient consensus. Research priority rating scale: 1 = very high priority, 2 = high priority, 3 = moderate priority, 4 = low priority, or 5 = very low priority. High research priority determined by the number of experts, patients, and carers that rated 1 (very high priority) or 2 (high priority) in the research priority rating scale. Research priority reached consensus of high importance by a group if rated as 1 (very high) or 2 (high) by > 70% of participants in the group. Color scale: red (less than 55% of participants in group rated 1 (very high priority) or 2 (high priority) in the research priority rating scale) to dark green (more than 95% of participants in group rated 1 (very high priority) or 2 (high priority) in the research priority rating scale), with yellow at midpoint (75% of participants in group rated 1 (very high priority) or 2 (high priority) in the research priority rating scale). ^Research priority reached consensus of high importance by all groups. *Significant difference between ratings across expert, patient, and carer groups (p < 0.05)
