Comparison of CA FISH findings in this analysis with previously-published findings for sputum cytology and sputum DNA methylation markers from this same cohort.
| Sensitivity | Specificity | Fully-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cytologic atypia* | 29% | 83% | 1.8 (1.3, 2.6) |
| DNA methylation** | 64% | 64% | 6.5 (1.2, 35.5) |
| CA-FISH *** | 76% | 85% | 29.9 (9.5, 94.1) |
from reference # 15. Atypia is defined as moderate atypia or worse. Odds ratio is adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, pack-years of smoking, and smoking status at baseline, and year of enrollment into the cohort.
From reference # 18. Methylation is defined as three or more of a panel of six markers methylated. Odds ratio is adjusted for age, sex, fev1, pack-years of smoking, and current smoking status
Data from the current report. Positive FISH assay is defined as 2 or more of 4 FISH markers abnormal. Odds ratio is adjusted for age, sex, FEV1, pack-years of smoking, and current smoking status
