Evaluation of different weight correction methods for antenatal serum screening using data from two multi-centre programmes

I describe a comparatively simple method for assessing the quality of comments on clinical biochemistry reports. It is based on independent peer review of components of comments, appears reasonably robust and correlates well with separate independent assessment of the value of complete comments. The method gives a numerical score, and thus lends itself to a wide range of statistical manipulations and assessment for education and audit purposes.
