Agreement Between Patient and Doctor Drug EvaluationsPatient-Doctor Agreement • April 27th, 2017
Patient ratings of drugs are regressed on doctor ratings and the severity of the patient’s condition (measured with QALY) while controlling for demographic variables and fixed effects. Patient rating and demographic data was collected from WebMD, doctor ratings from RateRx, and QALY data from the Tufts CFAR database. Patient and doctor ratings are positively correlated, though not very strongly. Patients with worse conditions rate drugs higher and with lower variance than patients with mild conditions. Doctors rate drugs higher if they have low variance between patient ratings.
