Otolaryngologists Demonstrate Low Agreement on Pediatric Airway Inflammation Assessment.
Objectives: Microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MLB) are essential tools for evaluating airway inflammation, but the reliability of endoscopic assessments for this purpose remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess surgeons' interrater reliability during endoscopic assessment of airway inflammation. The endoscopic factors used to determine overall airway inflammation were also assessed.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 24 pediatric patients who underwent MLB and arytenoid biopsy. Surgeons rated airway inflammation based on endoscopic images, and interrater reliability was assessed using Fleiss' Kappa.
Results: Fleiss's Kappa demonstrated poor interrater reliability among all surgeons (0.111) and experienced surgeons (0.117). Surgeons varied in prioritizing visual features for assessing inflammation.
Conclusion: Current subjective assessments of airway inflammation during MLB exhibit poor interrater reliability, necessitating further research for improved diagnostic accuracy and informed treatment decisions in pediatric airway interventions.
期刊介绍:
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
