Background:
We sought to determine interrater agreement in evaluation of stroke patients with the Unified Form for Neurological Stroke Scales (UFNSS).
Summary Of Report:
Fifty inpatients were independently examined by three neurologists. Kendall coefficients of concordance were computed for the different items of the UFNSS. There was a high concordance among the raters. The best agreements were obtained for motor functions and the worst for grading of eye movements.
Conclusions:
The UFNSS was shown to be reliable for evaluation of motor functions, verbal communication, orientation, and vigilance in stroke patients.
