ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

The Michigan State University (MSU) classification of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is periodically used by various authors to classify disc herniation. We assessed the reliability of this classification system among orthopedic residents at our institute.

Methods:

Fifty T2 axial-cut magnetic resonance images (MRI) corresponding to the level of maximal disc herniation from patients diagnosed with a single LDH were selected and distributed to six orthopedic residents. All six residents gave a specific rating for each image based on the MSU classification; in addition, three residents gave ratings on two different occasions. The degree of agreement among residents was analyzed by calculating inter-observer and intra-observer reliability using the Kappa statistic.

Results:

The inter-observer reliability among the six residents calculated as the Fleiss' Kappa was 0.422, which indicates moderate reliability. The intra-observer reliability of three selected residents calculated by Cohen's Kappa was 0.750, 0.772, and 0.859, which indicates substantial to almost perfect reliability. Variations in ratings were frequent in images portraying a broad-based disc herniation with spinal canal stenosis.

Conclusion:

Our findings demonstrate moderate homogeneity of ratings given by residents; however, test-retest results proved the ratings to be consistent. Level of Evidence II, Diagnostic studies - investigating a diagnostic examination.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

A classificação da hérnia de disco lombar (LDH) da Michigan State University (MSU) é usada periodicamente por vários autores para classificar as hérnias discais. Pretendemos avaliar a confiabilidade deste sistema de classificação entre os residentes de ortopedia em nosso instituto.

Métodos:

Cinqüenta imagens de RM axial do corte T2 correspondendo ao nível de hérnia discal máxima de pacientes que foram diagnosticados com uma única LDH foram selecionadas e distribuídas para seis residentes ortopédicos. Todos os seis residentes deram uma classificação específica para cada imagem com base na classificação MSU; Além disso, três residentes deram notas em duas ocasiões diferentes. O grau de concordância entre os residentes foi analisado calculando-se a confiabilidade interobservador e intraobservador pela estatística Kappa.

Resultados:

Descobrimos que a confiabilidade interobservador entre seis residentes, calculando o Kappa de Fleiss, foi de 0,422; isso indica confiabilidade moderada. No entanto, a confiabilidade intra-observador de três residentes selecionados mostrou-se substancial (Kappa de Cohen = 0,750, 0,772 e 0,859 em três residentes, respectivamente). Variações na observação foram frequentes se houvesse hérnia discal ampla com estenose do canal vertebral.

Conclusão:

Nossos achados demonstram homogeneidade moderada das avaliações dadas pelos residentes; no entanto, teste-reteste provou que as classificações eram consistentes. Nível de Evidencia II, Estudos diagnósticos - investigação de um exame para diagnóstico.
