Similarity of expert clinicians' rank order of differential diagnoses in a newborn resuscitation context.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We tested principles that could lead to a future cognitive aid that offers an interpretation of the newborn's physiological state during resuscitation after birth. Using concordance among experts' interpretations of newborn vital sign patterns as an approximation for an algorithm that could provide an interpretation of the newborn's state, we explored the reliability and generalisability of experts' interpretations.

Methods

Twelve neonatal experts viewed eight pairs of graphical trajectories showing newborns' heart rate and oxygen saturation records supplemented with differential diagnoses elicited previously from other experts. Each pair of trajectories included one trajectory on which the original differential diagnoses had been based, and a similar but novel tr
