Inter-Observer Agreement Among Medical Professionals in Critical Care of Neonates and ChildrenInter-Observer Agreement Study • October 10th, 2012
Inter-observer agreement is essential to medical staff members and has a major effect on communication. The goal of the study was to examine the way medical professionals evaluate the potential severity of Almost Adverse Events (AAEs) that were observed in two intensive care units (ICUs). One hundred and fourteen AAEs were observed and recorded in both units by engineering students. Each AAE was rated independently by five senior medical staff members from each ICU, chosen by the unit manager, on a three- point severity level scale. Statistical analysis (K statistic and Cohen’s Kappa) yielded relatively low levels of agreement among raters in both ICUs (< 0.3), but significantly greater agreement was found among nurses than among physicians in both ICUs. Low levels of agreement are attributed to the nature of work and characteristics of each ICU. Recommendations for improving agreements including forming shared mental models are specified.

INTER-OBSERVER AGREEMENT IN THE ESTIMATION OF BLADDER PRESSURE USING A PENILE CUFF.Inter-Observer Agreement Study • July 3rd, 2002
We previously reported a non-invasive method of estimating bladder pressure during voiding by inflating a penile cuff to measure the pressure at which flow is interrupted (pcuff,int) (1). The cuff pressure is then released allowing flow to resume and the cycle is repeated until voiding is complete, giving typically 2 or more inflation cycles per void. In this study we determine the agreement between experienced observers in deciding which inflation cycles are suitable for measurement, and in their subsequent estimates of pcuff,int.
