Table 3.

Reasons for discrepancy by ROP diagnoses provided by five pediatric ophthalmology fellows, compared to diagnosis provided by expert reference standard. All image sets that were diagnosed incorrectly by over half of the fellows were reviewed to identify the most likely source of error as judged by consensus of study authors.

Reasons for discrepancy Number of imagesa Percentage
Identification of stage 43 91.5
Identification of plus disease 19 40.4
Identification of zone 16 34.0
Poor image quality 2 4.3
Total number of images 47b -

Number of images that were diagnosed incorrectly by over half of the fellows. The sum is larger than the total number of images because some images were diagnosed incorrectly by fellows for different reasons.
