TI  - Inter-Rater Reliability Of Objective Structured Long Examination Record.
PG  - 180-183
AB  - BACKGROUND: Objective Structured Long Examination Record (OSLER) scale was 
      introduced in 1997 by Gleeson to improve the long case examination. There is no 
      psychometric evidence to support reliability of OSLER. This study was done to 
      analyse inter-rater reliability of OSLER. METHODS: Two groups of examiners 
      assessed 105 students in long case examination of their final professional 
      examination, using OSLER scale. Group 1 was composed of actual examiners while 
      Group 2 was mock examiners. Kappa statistic and intraclass correlation 
      coefficient (ICC) were used on SPSS 23 to calculate reliability. RESULTS: Mean 
      score awarded by actual examiners was 55.36 (SD=11.2) whereas mean score by mock 
      examiners was 57.74 (SD=14.1). Cronbach's alpha was 0.586, Kappa was 0.019 
      whereas inter-rater reliability on ICC was 0.413. CONCLUSIONS: Although OSLER is 
      a practical modification of long case examination with good validity, the scale 
      needs to be more structured to improve its reliability.
