2 Isolation and Salmonella serotyping PT Isolation: Positive/Negative sample for Salmonella spp. Salmonella serotyping: Identification of somatic antigens Identification of flagellar antigens Serotype S. Typhimurium S. Bredney S. Virchow S. Thompson. Salmonella serotyping PT 20 Salmonella strains are analysed from each participant Routine method is used to analyse the samples Results trasmission by Standard method is NOW available (2014/07/15) (ISO/TR : Guide for serotyping of Salmonella spp.) 2

Typhimurium Salmonella serotyping PT evaluation Performance of each participant: Agreement between observed and expected serotypes Performance of overall PT: Agreement among all answers of all participants Cohen s K statistics 3

4 Cohen s K statistics K for 2 or more Raters on a 2 or multiple -Level Measurement Scale 2 Raters: s of 2 operators or laboratories, expected vs observed s, s of 2 different methods More Raters: s of more operators or laboratories, more observed s of one laboratory, s of more different methods 2-Level Measurement Scale: +/-, true/false, presence/absence Multiple-Level Measurement Scale: an arbitrary number q (greater than 2) of nominal or ordinal response categories Ordinal: absent, mild, moderate, severe; low, medium, hight; Nominal: different pathologies, diagnosis, categories K insalmonella serotyping PT K for 2 Raters on a nominal Multiple-Level Measurement Scale: individual evaluation 2 Raters: observed vs expected s for each laboratory Multiple-Level Measurement Scale: nominal response categories as serotype for an overall of 20 strains K for p Raters on a nominal Multiple-Level Measurement Scale: overall evaluation p Raters: p laboratories Multiple-Level Measurement Scale: nominal response categories as serotype for an overall of 20 strains 4

5 Doctor Cohen s K statistics Which is the difference between the simple overall percentage of agreement and the K statistics? The K statistics adjusts the overall percentage of agreement for the chance agreement Example 1: % of agreement Two doctors analyse 100 x-ray to classify them as pathological or normal: Doctor 1: he KNOWS to destinguish between pathological and normal, he analyses the x- ray and decides: 4 pathological, 96 normal Doctor 2: he DOESN T know to destinguish between pathological and normal, he analyses the x- ray and decides: 100 normal Doctor 2 Pat. Norm. Pat Norm Observed agreement: (0+96)/100= % Is it correct to say that the agreement is equal to 96%? 5

6 Doctor Example 2: % of agreement Two doctors analyse 100 x-ray to classify them as pathological or normal: Both the doctors (1 e 2) flip a coin and decide: 50% pathological and 50% normal in this way: Doctor 2 Pat. Norm. Pat Norm Observed agreement : (25+25)/100= % Is it correct to say that the agreement is equal to 50%? NO A part of agreement depends on chance Remove the percentage of agreement attributed to chance Cohen s Observed agreement = OA Potential agreement over and above chance = 1-EA 0% 100% Expected agreement (attributed to chance) = EA True agreement over and above chance True agreement K ( OA EA) (1 EA) Possible maximum agreement NOT chance K= indicates the proportion of potential agreement, effectivelly achieved, excluding the chance 6

7 Doctor Cohen s K interpretation Maximum disagreement Qualitative interpretation of K according to Landis and Koch scale Observed agreement equal to chance agreement < 0 no agreement slight agreement fair agreement moderate agreement substantial agreement Maximum agreement almost perfect agreement. Cohen s K calculation 1. OA, proportion of observed concordant s OA EA, proportion of expected concordant s EA / ( OA EA) (1 EA) Doctor 2 Result + - a a a K a a a.2 50 a a Conclusion:Agreement due to chance 7
