Inter‐Rater Reliability in Pre‐Anaesthetic Airway Assessment: A Protocol for a Systematic Review
Study context
- Population
- Adult patients or healthy volunteers in whom two or more assessors independently evaluated a composite airway assessment tool or individual airway assessment component through physical assessment of a real participant
- Planned comparison
- Inter-rater reliability, agreement or variability in composite airway assessment tools and individual airway assessment components in pre-anaesthetic or preoperative assessment
Methodological detailsdeveloped in accordance with PRISMA-P, informed by the PRISMA 2020 statement and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews

Planned methods
- Systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and CENTRAL, supplemented by reference list screening and forward citation tracking
- Methodological quality assessed with a checklist adapted from the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies
- Findings synthesised primarily narratively; quantitative synthesis may be considered where studies are judged sufficiently homogeneous
- Protocol; no results reported
