Comparison of diagnostic efficacy of three diagnostic methods.
| Methods | AUC | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | Accuracy(%) | PPV (%) | NPV(%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C-TIRADS | 0.785* | 68.5 | 88.5 | 78.3 | 86.0 | 73.0 |
| SWE | 0.775** | 68.5 | 86.5 | 77.4 | 84.1 | 72.6 |
| C-TIRADS+SWE | 0.870 | 83.3# | 84.6## | 84.0 | 84.9 | 83.0 |
* indicates the AUC of C-TIRADS compared with that of SWE, z = 0.18, P > 0.05, the AUC of C-TIRADS compared with that of C-TIRADS + SWE, z = 2.76, P < 0.05; ** indicates the AUC of SWE compared with that of C-TIRADS + SWE, z = 2.25, P < 0.05; # indicates that the comparison of sensitivity values among the three diagnostic methods had statistical significance (P < 0.05); ## indicates that the comparison of specificity values among the three diagnostic methods had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).
