Assessing Concordance of Results: A Comparative Study of the Manual and Automated Urinalysis Methods

Table 4

Comparison of urine microscopy results from manual and automated analyser.

The bold numbers indicate samples with the same grade agreement. Kappa analysis: cast (, ), crystal (, ), YLC (, ), mucus (, ), and bacteria (, ). YLC: yeast-like cells. value > 0.05, Kappa is not significant and there is no agreement between methods.
