Of the 310 indications that the panel evaluated, 22.6% were considered high priority, 52.3% intermediate priority, and 25.2% low priority.
Based on this analysis three priority groups were created: (1) high priority, at least 70% of respondents ranked 6 or 7, (2) intermediate priority, 50-69% of respondents, and (3) moderate priority, less than 50% of respondents.
The final list consisted of 16 criteria, seven of which were considered high priority and nine of intermediate priority (Table 3).
Several experts also suggested moving the criteria placed into the "moderate priority" category into either the high or intermediate priority categories.
