Interrater and intrarater reliability in the diagnosis and staging of endometriosis
Obstetrics and Gynecology, 07/05/2012
Schliep KC et al. – Substantial reliability was found for revised ASRM endometriosis diagnosis, whereas moderate reliability was observed for staging. Almost perfect reliability was observed for surgeons' rating of disease severity compared with computerized–assisted, checklist–based staging. Findings suggest that reliability in endometriosis diagnosis is not greatly altered by location or composition of surgeons, supporting the conduct of multisite studies or compilation of endometriosis data across clinical centers
