Intra and inter-observer agreement on polyp detection in colon capsule endoscopy evaluations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colon capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for evaluation of the colon, but its reproducibility is still unknown.

Objective

This study assesses intra and inter-observer agreement in evaluations of colon capsule endoscopy videos.

Methods

Forty-two complete colon capsule endoscopy investigations were analysed by three experts and two beginners. Intra-observer agreement was assessed in paired readings of two experts and two beginners. Agreement was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient: poor (<0.5), moderate (0.5-0.75), good (0.75-0.9) and excellent (>0.9).

Results

Agreement on 'indication for a following colonoscopy' based on the number and size of detected polyps and bowel cleansing quality was poor among all observers. Agreement
