Table 3. Intra-expert agreement in plus disease diagnosis by 6 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) experts from reviewing 7 wide-angle retinal images.
Each expert was initially asked to provide a diagnosis (plus, pre-plus, or neither) while “thinking aloud” to explain their underlying rationale. Experts were subsequently asked to provide a diagnosis after responding to a series of questions about specific features of each image. Intra-expert agreement is represented as absolute agreement and weighted kappa (κ) statistic.
