Cohen's kappa statistic is a very well known measure of agreement between two raters with respect to a dichotomous outcome. Several expressions for its asymptotic variance have been derived and the normal approximation to its distribution has been used to construct confidence intervals. However, inf

β¦ Synopsis
The kappa statistic is suggested as a means to index the degree to which particular patterns occur in social interaction. It is suggested that the value of the kappa statistic for each interaction be used as a dependent measure. Particular formulas for kappa are derived for undirectional dependence, bidirectional dependence, other additive patterns, and for dominance.

We performed an observational nonrandomised study in a critical care unit of a large district general hospital in England to establish whether sequential organ scoring could be used as a measure of effectiveness of intensive care. The degree of organ dysfunction of 75 consecutive patients admitted t
Highβdependency units are of benefit to patients and to the associated intensive care unit. However, the effectiveness of highβdependency care has not been quantified. We studied 100 consecutive patients whose highβdependency unit admission was longer than 48βh. The Logistic Organ Dysfunction System
