Observer Variation in Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy: Experienced Versus Nonexperienced Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeons

Abstract

This study indicates that both interobserver and intraobserver agreement was higher in experienced versus nonexperienced ENT surgeons. Agreement ranged from poor to excellent in both groups. The current results suggest that experience in performing DISE is necessary to obtain reliable observations.
