What is the inter-observer reliability of the Excitement Score, Face Mask Acceptance Score, and Steward Score in children after general anaesthesia?
The Excitement and Face Mask Acceptance Scores demonstrate high inter-observer reliability, whereas the movement subdivision of the Steward Score has poor reliability, emphasizing the need to validate scoring systems.
KEEGAN et al. (1995) studied this question.
