Performance of Serum IgG4 in discriminating IAC from All CCA in the Test (T) and Validation (V) cohorts

IgG4 Cutoff Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)
Cohort T V T V T V T V
>140 (1x ULN) 78 64 87 88 70 60 91 89
>280 (2x ULN) 50 34 97 96 86 70 83 83
>560 (4x ULN) 26 17 100 99 100 89 77 80

All CCA (All cases of Cholangiocarcinoma); IAC (IgG4- Associated Cholangitis); PPV (Positive Predictive Value); NPV (Negative Predictive Value); ULN (Upper Limit of Normal); IgG4 unit = mg/dL
