Variability in the analysis of coronary arteriograms.

TL;DR: Variability in coronary arteriogram readings was studied by having cine films from ten patients read by eleven readers, and recent experience in reading arteriograms seemed to be the most important characteristic in determining the accuracy of a reader.

Observer agreement in evaluating coronary angiograms.

TL;DR: Analysis of inter- and intraobserver variability showed that angiographic items about which observers were most inconsistent from one reading to the other had the largest interobserver disagreement as well.

Does this patient have community-acquired pneumonia? Diagnosing pneumonia by history and physical examination.

TL;DR: Some studies have shown that the absence of any vital sign abnormalities or any abnormalities on chest auscultation substantially reduces the likelihood of pneumonia to a point where further diagnostic evaluation may be unnecessary.

The U.K. Working Party's Diagnostic Criteria for Atopic Dermatitis. II. Observer variation of clinical diagnosis and signs of atopic dermatitis

TL;DR: Within‐observer variation for the recording of physical signs was substantially better than between‐ob Server variation, and some signs showed poor agreement, such as keratosis pilaris, xerosis, orbital pigmentation, fine hair, and extensor dermatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reliability of eliciting physical signs in examination of the chest

TL;DR: Comparison of diagnoses based on the clinical findings with the correct diagnoses supported by investigations showed that 28% of physicians' diagnoses were incorrect.

Disagreement Between Observers in an Epidemiological Study of Respiratory Disease

TL;DR: It is shown that there was fair agreement in diagnosing byssinosis on the history, but some of the clinical data were so unreliable that they cannot be used to indicate the nature or the severity of disease.
