Interobserver reproducibility of joint space width measurements

View Observer Baseline JSW reading 1 (mm; mean ± SD) Mean of difference (mm; mean ± SD) ICC (95% CI) Joint space change from M0 to M36 in reading 1 (mm) ICC (95% CI)
Pelvic 1 2.33 ± 0.81 -0.34 ± 0.52 0.80 (0.52–0.91) -0.40 ± 0.65 0.79 (0.65–0.88)
2 2.67 ± 1.07 -0.54 ± 0.66

Hip AP 1 2.41 ± 0.86 -0.27 ± 0.39 0.88 (0.66–0.95) -0.39 ± 0.61 0.87 (0.78–0.93)
2 2.69 ± 1.05 -0.49 ± 0.66

Oblique 1 2.37 ± 0.79 -0.31 ± 0.61 0.72 (0.50–0.85) -0.46 ± 0.59 0.86 (0.76–0.92)
2 2.69 ± 1.00 -0.47 ± 0.67

Shown is the interobserver reproducibility of joint space width (JSW) measurements between the two readers for the three radiographic views. AP, anteroposterior; CI, confidence interval; ICC, intraclass coefficient of correlation; SD, standard deviation.
