METHODS: The agreement regarding the interpretation of BDR + between the two criteria was assessed using kappa (κ). The percentage of agreement in the interpretation of BDR + between the two criteria was calculated. The factors that influenced the discordance of BDR + between these two criteria were also analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 500 subjects with a mean age of 60.5 ± 15.6 years, 62.2% male were included. The study observed a good level of agreement in the interpretation of BDR + between the two criteria with kappa values = 0.782. The percentages of agreement on the interpretation of BDR + between the two criteria were high, with values = 90.6%. Male sex was the only factor that influenced the discordance of BDR + between these two criteria.
CONCLUSIONS: A good level of agreement was observed in the interpretation of BDR + between the 2005 and 2021 criteria. Therefore, the 2005 and 2021 ERS/ATS criteria for BDR can be used interchangeably. However, the discordance of BDR + between these two criteria could be affected by sex.
方法:使用κ(κ)评估两个标准之间关于BDR+解释的一致性。计算了两个标准之间对BDR+的解释的一致性百分比。还分析了影响这两个标准之间BDR不一致的因素。
结果:共有500名受试者,平均年龄为60.5±15.6岁,62.2%为男性。该研究观察到在Kappa值=0.782的两个标准之间对BDR+的解释具有良好的一致性。这两个标准对BDR+解释的一致性百分比很高,值=90.6%。男性是影响这两个标准之间BDR不一致的唯一因素。
结论:在2005年和2021年标准之间对BDR+的解释中观察到了良好的一致性。因此,2005年和2021年BDR的ERS/ATS标准可以互换使用。然而,这两个标准之间BDR+的不一致可能受到性别的影响.
