Reliability of OMERACT ultrasound elementary lesions in gout: Results from a multicenter exercise
Rheumatology International Dec 14, 2018
Cazenave T, et al. - Authors assessed the reliability of the outcome measures in rheumatology (OMERACT) definitions for ultrasound (US) elementary lesions in gout through an image reading exercise. They collected the images from patients with gout (static images and videos). They noted the intra-reader kappa values to be 0.62, 0.69, 0.77, and 0.85, respectively. The sonographer’s level of experience did not influence the reliability. Depending on the type of lesion, they noted moderate to excellent reliability of the new OMERACT US definitions for elementary lesions in gout.
