Aim: To determine the interobserver reliability of the Koos classification which is used for grading vestibular schwannomas and to evaluate its correlation with Apperent Diffusion Coefficiency (ADC) and post contrast signal intensity values.
Methods: Vestibular schwannomas were retrospectively scanned from picture archiving and communication system over a 4-year period. Koos grade of tumor was assessed by two radiologists blinded to the clinical and pathological data. Cohen’s Kappa was used to analyse interobserver agreement of Koos grade. The correlation between ADC, signal intensity measurements and Koos grade of tumors was analysed with Kendall’s tau b correlation coefficient.
Results: 33 patients (21 females, mean age 52.6±16.6 years) with 34 vestibular schwannomas were included the study. The reliability analyses revealed excellent inter-observer agreement for ADC (ICC: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87-0.97, p<0.001) and signal intensity (ICC: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96-0.99, p<0.001) measurements. The percentage agreement for Koos grading was 97% (k= 0.96, p<0.001). A correlation was not found between the Koos grade and ADC (_τ_b: 0.18). Also signal intensity remained similar between Koos grades (p=0.125). A significant difference was found for ADC values between Koos grades (p=0.039).
Conclusion: Koos classification is a practical and useful grading system with excellent interobserver agreement for vestibular schwannomas. ADC values differs significantly between the tumor grades, but ADC and post contrast signal intensity values have no correlation with Koos grade.

Amaç: Vestibüler şıvannomların evrelemesinde kullanılan Koos sınıflamasının gözlemciler arası güvenilirliğini belirlemek, bu sınıflamanın Görünür Difüzyon Katsayısı (ADC) ve kontrast sonrası sinyal intensite değerleri ile korelasyonunu değerlendirmek.
Yöntemler: Hastane veri tabanından 4 yıllık süre içerisinde radyolojik raporlamada vestibuler şıvannom tanısı yer almış olan MR görüntüleri retrospektif olarak tarandı. Lezyonların Koos sınıflamasına göre derecesi, klinik ve patolojik verilere kör olan iki bağımsız radyolog tarafından değerlendirildi. Koos sınıflamasının gözlemciler arası uyumunu analiz etmek için Cohen's Kappa; ADC, sinyal intensite ölçümleri ve Koos tümör derecesi arasındaki korelasyonu saptamada Kendall's tau b korelasyon katsayısı kullanıldı.
Bulgular: 34 vestibüler şıvannom, 33 hasta (21 kadın, ortalama yaş 52.6±16.6 yıl) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Güvenilirlik analizleri, ADC (ICC: 0.93, %95 GA: 0.87-0.97, p<0.001) ve sinyal intensite (ICC: 0.98, %95 GA: 0.96-0.99, p<0.001) ölçümleri için gözlemciler arası mükemmel uyum ortaya koydu. Koos derecelendirmesi için değerlendiriciler arasında %97 oranında anlaşma saptandı (k= 0.96, p<0.001). Koos derecesi ile ADC (_τ_b: 0.18) arasında bir korelasyon bulunamadı. Ayrıca sinyal intensitesi Koos dereceleri arasında benzer kaldı (p=0.125). Koos dereceleri arasında ADC değerleri açısından ise anlamlı fark bulundu (p=0,039).
Sonuç: Koos sınıflaması, vestibüler şıvannomlar için mükemmel gözlemciler arası uyuma sahip, pratik ve kullanışlı bir derecelendirme sistemidir. ADC değerleri ile tümör dereceleri arasında önemli ölçüde farklılık izlenirken, ADC ve kontrast sonrası sinyal intensite değerlerinin Koos derecesi ile korelasyonu izlenmemektedir.
