مستخلص: |
Kappa is not a reliable indicator of the amount of chance agreement, thus it is not an appropriate aspirational threshold for O/E agreement assessed across multiple paired examinations as proposed [[2]]. Although a conclusion of Identification or Elimination is dispositive, should an adjacent Inconclusive decision be rendered by a different examiner (or the same examiner under different conditions), that conclusion would not be considered prejudicial in practice. We reported that most differences in conclusions, both within and between examiners, involve adjacent decision categories of Identification/Inconclusive, Elimination/Inconclusive, or are within the three Inconclusive levels of the AFTE Range. Each point in figures 1-6 [[1]] represents the observed and expected agreement for repeated comparisons by a single examiner or comparisons duplicated by two examiners (reproducibility), thus isolating examiner-specific effects.
