目的：这份报告介绍了interexaminer的可靠性达到使用Dean的指数在氟斑牙的研究，并显示分配不同的权重的各个组成部分的Dean's Index.Methods：三个牙医进行了重复的氟中毒检查202名儿童在纽堡和金斯顿，纽约州的Kappa值的影响。检查员的可靠性进行了评估，计算百分比协议和加权和未加权kappa statistics.Results：协议的存在或不存在的氟中毒使用Dean的氟中毒的定义范围从92%至97%，各自的kappa值范围从0.75至0.94。Dean's指数受试者水平严重程度评分的比较得出的一致率范围为79.6%-86.8%，kappa值范围为0.67 - 0.76。加权的卡帕统计提高协议，减少了differences.Conclusions：考官表现出良好的协议超出了机会，在使用该指数。受试者水平Kappa评分高于牙齿水平评分。
Objective: This report describes the interexaminer reliability achieved using Dean's Index in a study of dental fluorosis, and shows the effect on kappa values of assigning different weights to the various components of Dean's Index.Methods: Three dentists conducted replicate fluorosis examinations on 202 children in Newburgh and Kingston, NY. Examiner reliability was assessed by computing percent agreement and weighted and unweighted kappa statistics.Results: Agreement on the presence or absence of fluorosis using Dean's definition of fluorosis ranged from 92 to 97 percent and the respective kappa values ranged from 0.75 to 0.94. A comparison of subject‐level severity scores for Dean's Index resulted in percent agreement ranging from 79.6 percent to 86.8 percent and kappa values ranging from 0.67 to 0.76. Weighting the kappa statistics improved agreement and reduced the differences.Conclusions: Examiners showed good to excellent agreement beyond chance in the use of the index. Subject level kappa scores were higher than tooth‐level scores.
