dc.description.abstractAcromegaly is characterised by hypersecretion of growth hormone and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that require consensus and guidelines for effective management. The Pituitary Study Group of the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism used a modified Delphi methodology to develop consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of acromegaly. A multidisciplinary panel of experts in acromegaly collaborated through this process to establish consensus-based statements. The authors did not receive any corporate funding or remuneration. The methodology employed to achieve these consensus recommendations included a literature review of specific topics, development of consensus statements, survey and interactive discussions, and a subsequent comprehensive analysis of the results to converge on key consensus statements for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring strategies. By synthesising the available evidence and integrating expert opinion, this consensus document offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals, facilitating timely diagnosis, personalised treatment strategies developed by multidisciplinary teams, and enhanced patient care.eng
