Table 5. Distribution of Causality Scores at the Initial Evaluation.

A. DILIN Structured Expert Opinion Score (n = 187)

Likelihood Frequency %
Definite 196 34.9
Highly likely 213 37.9
Probable 86 15.3
Possible 44 7.8
Unlikely 22 3.9
Total 561 100.0
B. RUCAM (n = 187)

Likelihood Frequency %
Highly probable 132 23.7
Probable 220 39.5
Possible 167 30.0
Unlikely 22 4.0
Excluded 16 2.9
Total 557 100.0

Each case was evaluated by three reviewers, and this yielded 561 reviews.

The RUCAM categories were as follows: highly probable, >8; probable, 6 to 8; possible, 3 to 5; unlikely, 1 to 2; and excluded, <1. RUCAM scores were missing for 4 reviews, so there were 557 reviews instead of 561.
