The effective response rates of the 2 rounds of consultation were 100% . The coefficients of judgment basis of experts， familiarity， and authority were 0.93， 0.92， and 0.925， respectively. The Kendall's W values of the first， second， and third- level indicators in the second round were 0.654， 0.250， and 0.879 (P＜0.001).
