Results with median Cohen’s kappa values for the Friedman stage, tongue position, and tonsil size
| Cohen´s kappa (1st and 3rd quartile) | Range | Agreement (Byrt) | Agreement (Altman) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friedman stage (n = 91) | 0.38 (0.24, 0.55) | −0.08 to 0.86 | Slight | Fair |
| Tongue position (n = 91) | 0.32 (0.21, 0.44) | −0.09 to 0.77 | Slight | Fair |
| Tonsil size (n = 91) | 0.62 (0.50, 0.63) | 0.14 to 1.00 | Good | Good |
Data are shown as the median with first and third quartiles, range, and the corresponding agreement according to Byrt and Altman. Cohen’s kappa is between − 1 and 1, where 0 represents agreement that would be expected from random chance, and 1 represents perfect agreement. Negative values represent agreement that is less than would be expected from random chance alone
