Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In order to evaluate the agreement and accuracy of cervical (vaginal) cytologic diagnoses, 16 cytologists from a large laboratory in Florence, Italy, with experience ranging from 2 to 25 years, independently examined a set of 100 slides. A common reporting form based on a seven-category classification system was used. Concordance was calculated for each pairwise comparison between the 16 cytologists and between each cytologist and the target diagnosis. The values of the kappa statistic for the whole laboratory were .49 for the multiple raters comparison and .59 for the target diagnosis comparison, showing a relatively good degree of agreement. |
