Level of Agreement With a Multi-Test Approach to the Diagnosis of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis: Methodological Issue

We were interested when we read an article that was recently published online in the journal named Foot and Ankle Surgery entitled “Level of Agreement With a Multi-Test Approach to the Diagnosis of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis” (Meyr AJ, Kyung S, Khurana JS, Rachana C, Baidarbhi C. Level of Agreement With a Multi-Test Approach to the Diagnosis of Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis. J Foot Ankle Surg 57(6):1137-9, 2018). The authors described the level of agreement between several of the commonly forms of diagnostic testing for diabetic foot osteomyelitis using percent agreement and Cohen's standard kappa (κ) coefficients (1).
