Popis: Objective To establish the statistical interobserver and intraobserver concordance of thoracic pedicle screw placement in scoliosis surgery, with a 4-week interval between the two analyses. Methods Of 55 patients that evaluated the intra- and interobserver concordances of the screw positions (according to the Abul-Kasim classification) using the Kappa coefficient. Results The intraobserver concordance ranged from a Kappa coefficient of 0.516 to 0.889 (“moderate” to “almost perfect”) between the two analyses performed four weeks apart. Interobserver concordance ranged from 0.379 to 0.633 (“reasonable” to “strong”). Conclusion The intraobserver concordance was always greater than the interobserver concordance. No concordance coefficient was classified as “insignificant” or “weak”. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective study.
