Interobserver agreement in assessment of ocular signs in coma

There is interobserver agreement in the assessment of various ocular signs found in coma patients. As measure for observer agreement the parameter kappa (K) was determined for (in-)equality of pupils, reaction of pupils, spontaneous eye movements, and oculocephalic responses. The agreement in the assessment of the pupils to light and in the assessment of (in-)equality of pupils appeared to be satisfactory, but more disagreement occurred in assessing spontaneous eye movements and oculocephalic responses.
