Abstract

Purpose Ultrasound examinations are often criticized for having higher examiner dependency compared to other imaging techniques. Compared to free-text reporting, structured reporting (SR) of head and neck sonography (HNS) achieves superior time efficiency as well as report quality. However, there are no findings concerning the influence of SR on the interrater reliability (IRR) of HNS. Materials and Methods Typical pathologies (n=4) in HNS were documented by video/images by two certified head and neck ultrasound instructors. Consequently, structured reports of these videos/images were created by n=9 senior physicians at departments of otolaryngology or maxillofacial surgery with DEGUM instructors on staff. Reports (n=36) were evaluated regarding overall completeness and IRR. Additionally, user satisfaction was assessed by a visual analog scale (VAS). Results SR yielded very high report completeness (91.8%) in all four cases with a substantial IRR (Fleiss' κ 0.73). Interrater agreement was high at 87.2% with very good user satisfaction (VAS 8.6). Conclusion SR has the potential to ensure high-quality examination reports with substantial comparability and very high user satisfaction. Furthermore, big data collection and analysis are facilitated by SR. Therefore, process quality, workflow, and scientific output are potentially enhanced by SR.

头颈部声像图的结构化报告实现了实质性的询问可靠性。
目的超声检查经常被批评为与其他成像技术相比具有更高的检查依赖性。与自由文本报告相比,头颈部超声(HNS)的结构化报告(SR)实现了卓越的时间效率和报告质量。然而,还没有发现SR对HNS的参与者间可靠性(IRR)的影响。材料和方法HNS的典型病理(n=4)由两名经认证的头颈部超声讲师通过视频/图像记录。因此,这些视频/图像的结构化报告是由耳鼻喉科或颌面外科的n=9名高级医生在DEGUM教员的指导下创建的。对报告(n=36)的总体完整性和内部收益率进行了评估。此外,用户满意度通过视觉模拟量表(VAS)进行评估。结果SR在所有四个病例中都产生了非常高的报告完整性(91.8%),具有显著的IRR(Fleiss'κ0.73)。询问者一致性高达87.2%,用户满意度非常好(VAS 8.6)。结论SR有可能确保高质量的检查报告,具有实质性的可比性和非常高的用户满意度。此外,SR有助于大数据的收集和分析。因此,SR有可能提高流程质量、工作流程和科学产出。
