Developing a quality indicator system for pediatric clinical trials management of research centers in China: a modified Delphi-Analytic Hierarchy Process study

This study develops a systematic expert consensus on a risk-based quality system tailored to the management of pediatric clinical trials in domestic research centers. The framework identifies critical risk indicators in the management process, providing a potential reference for quality control and internal audits within pediatric clinical trial research centers in China. However, further research is required to assess its practical implementation and adaptability to diverse trial conditions.
