Abstract

The Chronic Mountain Sickness (CMS) Consensus Group was established in 1998 in Matsumoto Japan in order to clarify issues surrounding CMS. Millions of people who live at high altitude are at risk for CMS, but the disorder is poorly understood. The Consensus Group hopes to lay the foundation for better understanding of description, pathogenesis, and treatment by developing consensus among interested scientists from many countries.
