Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) scores for the three readers

Question ICC 95% CI ICC ratinga
Findings
  Is there a whirlpool sign? 0.88 0.79–0.93 Excellent
  Is the SMA/SMV normal? 0.84 0.73–0.91 Excellent
  Is the proximal duodenum dilated? 0.83 0.72–0.90 Excellent
  Is there a normal retroperitoneal third portion of the duodenum? 0.73 0.57–0.84 Good
Impression
  Is there midgut volvulus? 0.90b 0.83–0.95 Excellent

CI confidence interval, SMA superior mesenteric artery, SMV superior mesenteric vein

aThe Cicchetti guidelines for interpreting kappa or ICC inter-rater agreement measures were used and interpreted as follows: less than 0.40 = poor, 0.40–0.59 = fair, 0.60–0.74 = good, 0.75–1.00 = excellent [20]

bAgreement and overall performance were best for the impression of midgut volvulus
