Model‐based measure of association (κ ma) for histological variables.

Histological variable Model‐based weighted kappa (κ ma) 95% CI
DCIS grades 1, 2, and 3 (n = 411; intercept‐only model) 0.50 0.44–0.56
DCIS grades 1 and 2 versus 3 (n = 411) 0.51 0.43–0.59
DCIS grade 1 versus 2 and 3 (n = 411) 0.45 0.41–0.50
DCIS grade as binary, low versus high (n = 411) 0.52 0.45–0.59
Necrosis; absent versus present (n = 413, manually dichotomised) 0.55 0.51–0.59
Calcifications; absent versus present (n = 413) 0.51 0.48–0.55
Lymphocytic infiltrate; absent versus subtle versus prominent (n = 413) 0.47 0.38–0.55
Periductal fibrosis; absent versus subtle versus prominent (n = 413) 0.35 0.03–0.31
Mitoses; sparse versus many (n = 408) 0.33 0.24–0.42
Architectural pattern; solid and comedo versus cribriform, flat, and (micro)papillary (n = 413) 0.61 0.58–0.64

DCIS grade 1 denotes low grade, 2 intermediate grade, and 3 high grade.
