They fare no better as interpretive theories of adjudication within civil law countries.
The best social-scientific accounts of adjudication, for example, boast predictive success that is so feeble (better than coin-tosses, but not much!) that their explanatory models, with their implicit concepts of law, earn no epistemic credence.
And it proved again that rugby league's quest for "perfect" adjudication does not make it a better game.
The members of the adjudication committee used their best clinical judgments based on available data for these adjudications.
In our study, we found no single gold-standard source of information in the medical records for indication classification that agreed consistently with expert adjudication, and the data sources were complementary in achieving better indication classification.
If his case had been better, or Cox's had been weaker, it might well have gone to adjudication.
Although a range of quality improvement activities in primary care are likely to be critical, there is an argument that certain populations may be better served by removal of primary care as gatekeeper for access, precisely because the process of categorisation, adjudication and offer are idiosyncratic and not easily amenable to change.
More recent trials 17262728 28 showed better evidence of good quality design, with satisfactory central randomisation using block design stratification with clear central event adjudication, and methods in place to ensure maintenance of double blinding.
A PROBE trial design assesses clinical outcomes in large simple studies that allow a broad patient population, in this case patients who require the long-term use of NSAIDs owing to chronic pain, which better reflects clinical practice but with the advantage of randomization and a rigorous evaluation of endpoints by blinded expert adjudication committees (16).
