[Occupational disability evaluation: comparison of subjective assessment with an objective point system].
Our assessments of working disability in 83 expertize on silicosis suffers were subsequently compared with a computer-aided scoring system. In 57% of the cases, full agreement was found; in 14% our estimates were higher and in 20% lower than the computer-aided scores. We investigated the reasons for the discrepancies, and attempted an assessment of computer-aided establishment of medical expertize.
