Reviewers	Crude agreement	Kappa coefficient	95% CI
FI trial
1 vs. 2	0.89	0.60	0.53 – 0.68
1 vs. 3	0.95	0.84	0.79 – 0.89
2 vs. 3	0.90	0.58	0.49 – 0.66

Cautery study
1 vs. 2	0.93	0.40	0.22 – 0.58
1 vs. 3	0.88	0.35	0.21 – 0.49

FI = fascial interposition

Note: agreement was assessed on two categories (recanalization, no recanalization) in the FI trial and on three categories (recanalization, no recanalization, indeterminate) in the cautery study.
