  1. Estimated prevalence, inter-method reliability based on Cohen’s kappa [12] (with 95% confidence interval), prevalence- and bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK [13]; with 95% confidence interval) and observed percentage agreement for individual finding codes (n = 200), FA (‘perceived false arrest’, n = 200) and TC (‘total condemnation’, n = 79) in comparisons between recorded remote and on-site post-mortem inspections of pig carcasses at a Swedish slaughterhouse in 2019 by an official veterinarian (OVA).
