The individual committee reports were developed and peer reviewed by open presentation and comment. The Scientific Committee, consisting of the Chairmen of all the committees then refined the final recommendations. ¶ These recommendations published in 2008 will be periodically re-evaluated in the light of clinical experience, technological progress and research.
