IAT methods: STRIP KIT: in-clinic immunochromatographic strip kit; CAPIL: microcapillary tube; MICRO: microtiter plate; GEL KIT: in-clinic gel minitube kit; GEL LAB: laboratory neutral gel column card. Antiglobulin reagents: GAD: goat anti-dog IgG, IgM, and C3; RAD: rabbit anti-dog IgG, IgM, and C3; IgG: rabbit anti-dog IgG. Groups were compared by Cohen’s kappa (κ). Interpretation of the κ value as per Landis and Koch [28], adapted by Brennan and Silman [29]: Green: very good agreement (≥0.81); orange: good agreement (≥0.61); blue: moderate agreement (≥0.41); purple: fair agreement (≥0.21), red: poor agreement (≤0.20). Interpretation of the κ value, as per Landis and Koch [28] adapted by McHugh [30]: strong agreement (≥0.8); moderate agreement (≥0.6); weak agreement (≥0.4); minimal agreement (≥0.21), no agreement (≤0.2).
