title: Reliability and consistency of bone marrow assessments of complete remission in acute myelogenous leukaemia.
abstract: An experiment is described which was designed to investigate the level of variability in the assessment of bone marrow remission in Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML). The inter-rater reliability and individual consistency of three haematologists at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, are analysed using their assessments of cellularity, percent blast cells and marrow status for fifty bone marrow samples.
