Quantifying Interrater Agreement and Reliability Between Thoracic Pathologists: Paradoxical Behavior of Cohen’s Kappa in the Presence of a High Prevalence of the Histopathologic Feature in Lung Cancer

Quantifying Interrater Agreement and Reliability Between Thoracic Pathologists: Paradoxical Behavior of Cohen’s Kappa in the Presence of a High Prevalence of the Histopathologic Feature in Lung Cancer

Introduction: Cohen’s kappa is often used to quantify the agreement between two pathologists. Nevertheless, a high prevalence of the feature of interest can lead to seemingly paradoxical results, such as low Cohen’s kappa values despite high “observed agreement.” Here, we investigate Cohen’s kappa u...
