A moderate level of agreement was observed in this study between the WHO-UMC and Naranjo scales. The level of agreement among these 5 raters was found to be similar for the WHO-UMC and the Naranjo scales, indicating a similar degree of subjectivity for the 2 scales. Hence, more robust and less subjective scales are required for causality assessment.
