This article reports the results of a survey of a nationwide sample of more than 900 surgeons and post-surgical nurses, who were asked to rate the relative complexity and uncertainty of 71 surgical procedures frequently performed in hospitals. Average scores assigned to each surgical procedure by both types of raters are reported and the extent of agreement is assessed across indicator questions and types of raters. A surprisingly high level of agreement was observed. Explanations for the extent of agreement are discussed and uses for these scores are described.
本文报告了一项针对全国范围内900多名外科医生和术后护理护士的抽样调查结果，这些受访者被要求对医院中经常开展的71种外科手术的相对复杂性和不确定性进行评分。报告了两类评分者对每种外科手术给出的平均分数，并评估了各指标问题和评分者类型之间的一致程度。结果发现，一致程度高得出人意料。文中讨论了达成这种一致程度的原因，并描述了这些分数的用途。
