For the calculation of the essential agreement, how do you consider values as ">8" or "16" (this could be 32? 64,128,...)
- Evaluated AST method gives a results fo the antibiotic of : ">8" (this could be 16,32, 64, ...)
How do you deal with those kind of data in your calculations?
Other possibility
- Reference AST method gives a result for the antibiotic of : "8"
- Evaluated AST method gives a results fo the antibiotic of : ">8"
Do you exclude all data when one (or both) results include ""?
Very few publications explain in detail this question.
Thanks for the feedback
