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).
