TL;DR: There appears to be a problem of over detection of aspiration in dysphagic patients and some individual therapists achieve such high reliability that they must be using successful internal criteria to interpret the swallow sounds correctly and further qualitative research may identify these.
Abstract: Objective: To measure the inter and intra-rater reliability of cervical auscultation used alone to detect aspiration in dysphagic patients.Setting: A university teaching hospital.Design: Comparison of the detection of aspiration in 16 recorded swallow sounds by five speech and language therapists on two occasions. Swallow sounds were recorded simultaneously with videofluoroscopy.Subjects: Sixteen patients referred for assessment of dysphagia with videofluoroscopy.Results: The kappa statistic for multiple raters showed fair agreement between raters (k = 0.28). There was high agreement when aspiration occurred but in non-aspirating swallows there was significant overdetection of aspiration (p < 0.001 McNemar's test). The intra-rater reliability within different individuals was widely variable (k = 0.55 (range 0.31–0.85)).Conclusions: Presented with the swallowing sounds in isolation speech and language therapists cannot reliably classify swallows into those with accompanying aspiration and those without.

TL;DR: The CEA had high interrater reliability and good intrarater reliability with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and was a reliable scale for measuring the facial erythema of rosacea when used by trained raters.
Abstract: Background Facial erythema is a clinical hallmark of rosacea and often causes social and psychological distress Although facial erythema assessments are a common endpoint in rosacea clinical trials, their reliability has not been evaluated Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intrarater reliability of the Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), a 5-point grading scale of facial erythema severity Methods Twelve board-certified dermatologists, previously trained on use of the scale, rated erythema of 28 rosacea subjects twice on the same day Interrater and intrarater agreement was assessed with the intraclass correlation and κ statistic Results The CEA had high interrater reliability and good intrarater reliability with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for session 1 and session 2 of 0601 and 0576, respectively; the overall weighted κ statistic for session 1 and session 2 was 0692 Limitations Raters were experienced dermatologists and there may be a risk of recall bias Conclusion When used by trained raters, CEA is a reliable scale for measuring the facial erythema of rosacea

TL;DR: To date, most studies have demonstrated marginal to poor interexaminer reliability, while good to moderate intrarater reliability has generally been reported.
