Inter-rater Agreement of Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale Assessments in Adult Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU: A Cross-Sectional Study
The inter-rater reliability of RASS assessments was high. However, we observed variations in the degree of agreement by assessor category. Further studies are necessary to explore how factors such as assessor characteristics, ICU environment, and patient conditions influence the inter-rater agreement of the RASS in contemporary ICU practices.
