Table 5:

Inter-rater agreement and reliability using videostroboscopy and high-speed videoendoscopy dynamically interlinked with digital kymography. Agreement is reported as the percentage of direct agreement within the range of one level of the feature-specific scale. Reliability is reported by Spearman correlations, which are statistically significant at p<0.0001 (*), Cohen’s Kappa (κ), and the intraclass correlation as well as the 95% confidence intervals for κ and the ICC.
