Intraclass correlation (r1) is the correct statistic for assessing agreement between two measurement methods, unlike product-moment correlation (r). Interchangeability requires minimal bias, non-significant mean differences, and a strong intraclass correlation (≥0.75).

Area of Science:

  • Methodologic research
  • Biostatistics
  • Medical device validation

Background:

  • Assessing interchangeability of measurement methods is crucial in scientific research.
  • Product-moment correlation (r) is often misused to assess method agreement.
  • Intraclass correlation (r1) is the appropriate statistic for agreement analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define criteria for judging the interchangeability of two quantitative measurement methods.
  • To highlight the limitations of product-moment correlation for agreement assessment.
  • To propose a statistical framework for evaluating method interchangeability.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluating systematic bias (additive or non-additive).
  • Assessing the statistical significance of the difference between mean readings.

  • Determining if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for intraclass correlation (r1) is ≥0.75.

    • Main Results:

    • Product-moment correlation (r) is inappropriate for assessing method agreement.
    • Intraclass correlation (r1) is the correct measure for method consistency.
    • Interchangeability requires absence of marked bias, non-significant mean differences, and a robust intraclass correlation.

    Conclusions:

    • Two methods are interchangeable if they show minimal systematic bias, statistically non-significant mean differences, and a high intraclass correlation (≥0.75).
    • Statistical procedures and software (SAS, DBASE III PLUS) are available to evaluate these interchangeability criteria.
