Abstract The limits of agreement between the two methods ranged from a lower limit of -1.32 mm (95% CI, -1.3 mm to -1.96 mm) to an upper limit of 1.04 mm (9%% CI, 1.04 to 1.96). There was no statistically significant difference found between size of follicles when measured by 2D or by 5D with p-value > 0.05 meaning that 5D result are highly comparable to the gold standard 2D U/S. The maximum limit of difference between 5d rather than 2d was 1.04 mm in 95 % of visualized follicles and the minimum difference between 5d and 2d was -1.32mm. The rather narrow limits of agreement denote that both methods may be used interchangeably. 2D US could estimate the follicle diameter with an accuracy of ±0.93 mm of that estimated by 5D US. |
