Measures of Validity: Correlation of Implicit Review Quality of Care Scores with Explicit, Evidence‐Based Condition‐Specific Quality of Care Scores
| Disease groups (N = 271) | Total Summed Implicit Quality Scorea | Condition‐Specific Explicit Quality Scoreb | Pearson Correlation Coefficient (p) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean (SD) | Median (Q1, Q3) | Mean (SD) | Median (Q1, Q3) | ||
| Asthma, N = 69 (11.1%) | 31.1 (1.66) | 31.3 (30.0, 32.5) | 89.3 (9.14) | 92.0 (84.0, 92.0) | 0.32 (0.008) |
| Closed head injury, N = 68 (11.0%) | 31.1 (2.15) | 31.6 (29.6, 32.9) | 95.3 (6.28) | 98.0 (93, 100) | 0.38 (0.002) |
| Diarrhea and dehydration, N = 68 (11.0%) | 30.4 (1.82) | 30.5 (29.5, 31.5) | 61.5 (8.40) | 61.0 (57.0, 68.0) | 0.29 (0.015) |
| Febrile seizures, N = 66 (10.7%) | 30.1 (2.16) | 30.0 (29.3, 31.3) | 87.7 (6.56) | 90.0 (90.0, 90.0) | 0.24 (0.055) |
a
Max score = 35.
b
Max score: Asthma and closed head injury = 100; Gastroenteritis and dehydration = 75; Febrile seizures = 90.
