“…In the comparative report, IBAGS parameters vascularity and bleb height were of moderate (single measure ICC) to good (average measure ICC) agreement, whereas agreement for bleb extent was only poor, in contrast to an earlier report [3, 16]. The prospective study [15] found a significant effect of hyaluronate on horizontal bleb extent only. Interestingly, this parameter was reported as the most variable in the comparative study [16].…”

“…The single ICC values appear of higher value, as they reflect the clinical situation of a single observer investigating a bleb at a time, rather than a group of observers. Recently, the IBAGS was compared to the MBGS and also used in a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the bleb development after trabeculectomy with hyaluronate application [15, 16]. In the comparative report, IBAGS parameters vascularity and bleb height were of moderate (single measure ICC) to good (average measure ICC) agreement, whereas agreement for bleb extent was only poor, in contrast to an earlier report [3, 16].…”

Background: The Würzburg bleb classification score (WBCS) serves to assess filtering blebs in a standardized fashion. The purpose of this prospective masked agreement study was to evaluate the WBCS interobserver variability. Methods: The WBCS provides a scheme to grade clinical bleb morphology. It evaluates the following parameters: vascularity, corkscrew vessels, encapsulation, microcysts and bleb height. Thus, 113 eyes of 104 consecutive patients at various times after surgery were examined (slit lamp biomicroscopy) by 3 ophthalmologists with each observer being unaware of the findings reported by the others. To calculate the interobserver variability of the WBCS, the interobserver consistency and absolute agreement were determined with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using a 2-way random model. Results: The ICC values of a single rater’s judgment were: vascularity +0.62, corkscrew vessels +0.67, encapsulation +0.63, bleb height +0.53, microcysts +0.52 and total score +0.74. The ICC values of the mean of all 3 raters were: +0.83 vascularity, +0.86 corkscrew vessels, +0.84 encapsulation, +0.77 bleb height, +0.76 microcysts and +0.90 total score. Conclusion: The WBCS is a bleb morphology score with high levels of interobserver consistency and absolute agreement in clinical practice.
