NIH Consensus Statements
PLEASE NOTE:
Each NIH consensus statement is the product of an
independent, non-Federal panel of experts and is based on
the panel's assessment of medical knowledge available at the
time the statement was written. Therefore, a consensus
statement provides a "snapshot in time" of the state of
knowledge of the conference topic.
When reading or downloading NIH consensus statements,
keep in mind that new knowledge is inevitably accumulating
through medical research. Nevertheless, each NIH consensus
statement is retained on this website in its original form
as a record of the NIH Consensus Development Program.
