TL;DR: Of described methods, use of the proximal radius articular surface and the radial shaft as references had the highest interrater and intrarater reliability.
Abstract: Three methods of measuring pediatric proximal radius fracture radiographs were compared using injury films of 32 patients. Angulation and displacement were independently measured by four physicians. One physician measured the films by each method a second time 2 months later. Values for interrater and intrarater reliability were determined using inter- and intra-class coefficients (ICC). Interrater reliability was poor for methods using the axis of the proximal radial fragment or the proximal radial physis as a reference (ICC = 0.47 and 0.42, respectively). Measurement of the angle between a line parallel to the proximal radius articular surface and the radial shaft had the highest interrater reliability (0.76); measurement of displacement had the lowest interrater reliability (0.09). The intrarater reliability was excellent for all methods (0.93-0.99) and was also highest when the proximal articular surface reference was used. Of described methods, use of the proximal radius articular surface and the radial shaft as references had the highest interrater and intrarater reliability.

TL;DR: The RIHM has an acceptable instrument error; the RIHM and its standardized procedure have excellent inter‐rater reliability and response stability when testing those without hand limitations; and the response stability and/or intrarater reliability of expert and novice raters were consistent.

TL;DR: The implicit review process used in the retrospective DUR program that was evaluated was unreliable and the validity of the DUR implicitreview process is in question.
Abstract: Objective To assess inter- and intrarater reliability among 23 pharmacist and physician retrospective drug utilization reviewers and to assess interrater reliability after a reviewer training session. Design Exploratory study. Setting Maryland Medicaid's retrospective drug utilization review (DUR) program. Participants 23 physician and pharmacist retrospective drug utilization reviewers. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures Profiles rated as “intervention indicated” or “intervention not indicated.” Cochran's Q test, overall percent agreement, and the unweighted kappa statistic were used in the analysis of review consistency. Results Intrarater reliability showed substantial consistency among the 23 reviewers; the percent agreement was 82.9% with κ = 0.66. Interrater reliability, however, was poor, with an overall agreement of 69.6% and κ = 0.16. Interrater reliability was also poor after a one-hour reviewer training session (agreement 81.8%, κ = −0.19). Conclusion The implicit review process used in the retrospective DUR program that we evaluated was unreliable. Since reliability is a necessary but not sufficient condition for validity of an indicator of inappropriate drug use, the validity of the DUR implicit review process is in question.

TL;DR: This study found substantial agreement in inter-rater reliability of KMRT in subjects with shoulder pain, whereas substantial to near perfect agreement was found in intra- rater and inter- Rotation Test in subjects without shoulder pain.
