Results of interoberver agreement between four independent observers assessing radiological parameters in 50 patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy

	Intraclass coefficient
PT at transection site	0.89 (0.83, 0.94)
PT at pancreatic neck	0.89 (0.83, 0.94)
MPDD at transection site	0.65 (0.46, 0.79)
MPDD at pancreatic neck	0.69 (0.51, 0.81)
Psoas muscle thickness at third lumbar spine	0.77 (0.43, 0.89)
Perirenal fat pad thickness	0.99 (0.98, 0.99)
Assessment of pancreatic parenchyma as serrated/lobular or not	0.60 (0.37, 0.76)

Values in parentheses are 95 per cent confidence intervals. An intraclass correlation coefficient value of 0.75 or higher was considered satisfactory to prove high reliability between measurements. PT, pancreatic thickness; MPDD, main pancreatic duct diameter.
