IgM/IgG ratio in PBC compared to other autoimmune liver conditions

Sensitivity (95% CI) Specificity (95% CI) Likelihood ratio - positive test (95% CI) Likelihood ratio - negative test (95% CI) Accuracy
PBC vs AIH 92.3% (66.7-98.6) 90.0% (69.9-97.2) 9.23 (2.45-34.69) 0.085 (0.012-0.56) 90.9% (30/33)
PBC vs AIH or PSC 92.3% (66.7-98.6) 85.7% (68.5-94.3) 6.46 (2.57-16.22) 0.089 (0.013-0.59) 87.8% (36/41)
PBC vs all others 92.3% (66.7-98.6) 90.5% (77.9-96.3) 9.69 (3.76-24.94) 0.085 (0.012-0.56) 90.9% (50/55)

PBC: Primary biliary cirrhosis; AIH: Autoimmune hepatitis; PSC: Primary sclerosing cholangitis; Positive test: IgM/IgG ratio ≥ 1; Negative test: IgM/IgG ratio < 1.
