Note:—The rows “stent visibility,” “vessel visibility,” and “relationship” show the summarized results to the 3-point scale questions. Given are the percent overall agreement (ie, the number of cases that all reviewers agreed in total, calculated using the Fleiss method), the percent agreement for a score 1 (ie, the number of cases all reviewers agreed on giving a score of 1), and the percent agreement for a score ≥2 (ie, the number of cases all reviewers agreed on giving a score of 2 or 3). Similarly, agreements for the binary questions are indicated. For each observer question, the κ values, P value, odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are given when applicable. OR represents the improvement of classification of 1 to ≥2 with MAR.
