Both Locker [ 32] and Dolan et al [ 40] have found that changes in global judgements varied over time and were consistent with self-report health status indicators and GOHAI scores.
One upshot is that the descriptive content of a speaker's judgements can vary over time as the object of her attitudes change.
There is no generally accepted ICER value beyond which health sector interventions are considered 'acceptable' and such judgements may vary considerably between different countries and health care systems.
Weights of dental services used in the relative value unit approach reflect in part the result of subjective or negotiated judgements, which may vary over time.
The demarcation of any particular study is, however, a matter of judgement, and may vary with the circumstances and particular aim of a certain project.
The concordance of medical judgement was found to vary depending on the medical speciality, being good in haematology (k = 0.75, 53 prescriptions), but moderate in oncology (k = 0.51, 48 prescriptions) and pneumology (k = 0.42, 37 prescriptions).
This study identified optimistic biases in health and oral health hazards, and explored whether comparative risk judgements for oral health hazards vary systematically with socio-economic characteristics and self-reported risk experience.
Moreover, this study explored whether risk judgements for oral health hazards vary systematically with gender and socio-economic status and whether young adults take account of personal risk experience when considering their susceptibility to oral health hazards.
Without prespecified case criteria, there is scope for bias arising from judgements by individual physicians, which may vary over time and between physicians.
This allows individual cases to be accepted or rejected as socially transmitted according to field-wide consensual standards for probability estimates (i.e. α<0.05) rather than subjective judgements of plausibility reliant on opinions that vary widely amongst practitioners.
