Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the inter-reviewer agreement (IRA) of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) in describing and classifying adnexal masses (AMs) among different physicians.

Methods

This retrospective study included 392 AMs (353 benign, 39 malignant) collected at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province between January 2019 and December 2019. Two sonographers who were blind to the history and pathology analyzed all ultrasound images, and then recorded the descriptors and the O-RADS classifications, independently. The Fleiss kappa (κ) test was applied to evaluate the IRA of O-RADS descriptive terms and scoring results.

Results

For the two sonographers, the IRA of descriptive terms for ascites or peritoneal nodules was very good (κ=0.940, P<0.001), that for AMs category and morphology of inner wall or external contour was good (κ=0.762 and 0.712, P<0.001 and=0.048, respectively), that for vascularity was fair (κ=0.510, P<0.001), and that for papillary projection was poor (κ=0.362, P<0.001). The IRA of the O-RADS classification was good (κ=0.742, P<0.001).

Conclusion

The ACR O-RADS classification has good diagnostic consistency among different physicians, and it can be used as an objective method for the diagnosis of AMs and is of great value for standardizing ultrasound report and reducing the interpretation error among different physicians.
