Table 2. Final agreement (vertebral number and percentage) between the six learner readers and reference reading.

Variable OVD absolute agree* OVD relative agree* OVD disagree by >1 grade* ≥ mild OVD missed* False (+) OVD#
I1 43 (66.2%) 57 (87.7%) 2 (3.1%) 1/1.6% 1/0.36%
I2 39 (60%) 54 (83.1%) 4 (6.2%) 0 0
I3 30 (46.2%) 51 (78.5%) 7 (10.8%) 0 0
C1 42 (63.6%) 60 (90.9%) 4 (6.1%) 0 4 (1.4%)
C2 45 (68.2%) 61 (92.5%) 0 3 (4.5%) 0
C3 42 (63.6%) 59 (89.4%) 4 (6.1%) 2 (3.0%) 2 (0.7%)

OVD absolute agree: exactly the same grading as the reference reading; OVD relative agree: compared with the reference reading, one grade difference is allowed; OVD disagree by >1 grade: disagreement by more than one grade, for example, a mild grade is marked as mod/s grade; ≥ mild OVD missed: mild grade OVD were missed with C2 missed one severe OVD (due to oversight). *, out of total true OVD; #, falsely marked as OVD out of total vertebrae with no OVD. OVD, osteoporotic vertebral deformity.
