Table 3. Levels of agreement and kappa coefficients for US vs. CT and for US vs. MRI stratified by WHO stages (defined by US).

US versus CT (N = 138)
Cyst stage Agreement (%) Expected Agreement (%) Kappa Std. Err. 95% CI
1 92.75 80.36 0.63 0.0791 (0.43–0.84)
2 92.75 77.27 0.68 0.0844 (0.50–0.87)
3a 92.03 78.73 0.63 0.0810 (0.43–0.82)
3b 91.30 68.52 0.72 0.0850 (0.58–0.87)
4 84.78 59.70 0.62 0.0848 (0.48–0.77)
5 98.55 72.21 0.95 0.0850 (0.88–1.00)

Cyst-stage specific kappa values: CT are more to the lower end of the category “good” (0.61–0.80), MRI at the upper end of the category “very good” (0.81–1.0).
