To test the previously described misdiagnosis severity score (MSS) by comparing it with doctors' perceptions of the severity of diagnostic errors.
14 scenarios of diagnostic errors were described on a questionnaire. These were given to 12 accident and emergency (A&E) consultants who were asked to indicate their assessment of the severity of the errors on a scale of 1 to 10.
There was a highly significant concordance between doctors' rankings of the diagnostic errors, and between the MSS and the mean severity as assessed by the A&E consultants.
It is reasonable to use the MSS as a measure of the severity of diagnostic errors.
通过将先前描述的误诊严重程度评分(MSS)与医生对诊断错误严重程度的认知进行比较,来测试该评分。
在一份问卷上描述了14个诊断错误的场景。将这些问卷发给12位急诊(A&E)顾问医生,要求他们在1至10的量表上表明对错误严重程度的评估。
医生对诊断错误的排名之间,以及MSS与急诊顾问医生评估的平均严重程度之间存在高度显著的一致性。
使用MSS作为诊断错误严重程度的衡量标准是合理的。
