The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current inter-expert agreement of Sasang Constitution Medicine (SCM), to expand the current knowledge on the causes of imperfect inter-expert agreement, and to explore possible solutions for improving inter-expert agreement. A literature search was conducted to gather data on the studies on diagnosis of SCM. The 127 articles included in this analysis had a mean 4.1 publications per year, 56.0% published in the Journal of Sasang Constitutional Medicine between the year of 1987 and 2017. SCM specialist participated in 96.3% of all the expert judgment cases. Inter-expert agreement was reported in 14.8% of the cases that had two or more experts. We recommend that expert panels integrate the results of current status of diagnostic consensus into guideline development and strengthen expert education and training with the aim of improving SCM diagnostic accuracy.
