Abstract

We assessed the inter-observer variation for a clinical staging score for tuberculosis (TB). 87 TB patients were examined by 2 independent observers within 2 h, and kappa was calculated. The kappa value of the total Bandim TBscore being at or above 8 points was 0.637, representing a good inter-observer agreement. No systematic bias was found.
