Inter- and intra-observer variation in spine radiographs of 100 osteoporotic women and longitudinal change in roentgenologic status after 1 year of antiosteoporotic treatment were assessed. The method applied was naked eye inspection, and a score system estimating severity of fractures - vertebral deformation score (VDS). Agreement was assessed by the Kappa coefficient corrected for agreement by change. The results showed a satisfactory inter- and intraobserver agreement for wedge (Kappa = 0.72 and 0.90) and compression fractures (Kappa = 0.60 and 0.92). The method proved less reliable for endplate fractures (Kappa = 0.39 and 0.73). We think that the method of investigation is well suited for monitoring treatment effects in longitudinal studies.
