Table 3 Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios for cancer alone and cancer and high‐risk adenomatous polyps.
| Sensitivity, % (95% CI) | Specificity, % (95% CI) | Positive likelihood ratio (95% CI) | Negative likelihood ratio (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cancer | 95.9 (84.8 to 99.3) | 59.2 (54.7 to 63.5) | 2.35 (2.08 to 2.65) | 0.07 (0.02 to 0.27) |
| Cancer and high‐risk adenomatous polyps | 87.8 (80.1 to 92.9) | 65.3 (60.6 to 69.7) | 2.53 (2.19 to 2.93) | 0.19 (0.11 to 0.31) |
High‐risk adenomatous polyps are either >10 mm diameter or >3 polyps or both in an individual participant.
