Title
Preliminary Evaluation of a Guideline Classification System
Abstract
In a previous paper, we presented a pro- posed expansion of the National Guideline Clearing- house (NGC) classification 1 . We performed a pre- liminary evaluation of the classification based on 100 guidelines randomly selected from the NGC collec- tion. We found that 89 of the 100 guidelines could be assigned to a single guideline category. To test inter- observer agreement, twenty guidelines were also categorized by a second investigator. Agreement was found to be 40-90% depending on the axis, which compares favorably with agreement among MeSH indexers (30-60%) 2 . We conclude that categorization is feasible. Further research is needed to clarify axes with poor inter-observer agreement.
