摘要
The limits of agreement approach of Bland and Altman is by far the most popular method for investigating statistical agreement between two measurement devices. This work presents the dangers of relying exclusively on the limits of agreement alone and argues that authors should always provide confidence intervals to assess the variability in the estimated limits. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007.
