Table 3 Agreement analysis of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition classification among the different methods

Comparison	Paired sample size	Observed agreement (%)	Kappa value
Actual body weight method vs CT-corrected method	100	97.0	0.908
Actual body weight method vs CT-sensitive corrected method	100	95.0	0.852
CT-corrected method vs CT-sensitive corrected method	100	98.0	0.944

Observed agreement refers to the percentage of concordant classifications between the two compared methods. Agreement was evaluated using kappa statistics. CT: Computed tomography.
