Evidence levels for neuroradiology articles: low agreement among raters.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because evidence-based articles are difficult to recognize among the large volume of publications available, some journals have adopted evidence-based medicine criteria to classify their articles. Our purpose was to determine whether an evidence-based medicine classification used by a subspecialty-imaging journal allowed consistent categorization of levels of evidence amo...
متن کاملQuestionable Raters + Low Agreement + Inadequate Sampling
Several studies have made positive claims regarding the validity, reliability, and utility of the Occupational Information Network (O*NET). In this first of three studies questioning such claims, I focused on the root cause of many problems regarding O*NET: i.e., the practice of rating overly abstract and heterogeneous occupational units (OUs), collecting ratings on OUs that exhibit substantial...
متن کاملA-Kappa: A measure of Agreement among Multiple Raters
Abstract: Medical data and biomedical studies are often imbalanced with a majority of observations coming from healthy or normal subjects. In the presence of such imbalances, agreement among multiple raters based on Fleiss’ Kappa (FK) produces counterintuitive results. Simulations suggest that the degree of FK’s misrepresentation of the observed agreement may be directly related to the degree o...
متن کاملKappa Test for Agreement Between Two Raters
Introduction This module computes power and sample size for the test of agreement between two raters using the kappa statistic. The power calculations are based on the results in Flack, Afifi, Lachenbruch, and Schouten (1988). Calculations are based on ratings for k categories from two raters or judges. You are able to vary category frequencies on a single run of the procedure to analyze a wide...
متن کاملAssessing agreement with multiple raters on correlated kappa statistics.
In clinical studies, it is often of interest to see the diagnostic agreement among clinicians on certain symptoms. Previous work has focused on the agreement between two clinicians under two different conditions or the agreement among multiple clinicians under one condition. Few have discussed the agreement study with a design where multiple clinicians examine the same group of patients under t...
