Table 3 Intra- and inter-grader agreement analysis on UCI cystinosis corneal crystal scoring (CCCS) system. The table presents kappa (κ) values, p-values, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals, and standard errors for intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. The UCI CCCS system demonstrated excellent reliability, with κ values of 0.922 for intra-rater and 0.869 for inter-rater reliability, with p-values < 0.001 and standard errors below 5%.
