Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of NBI findings in small esophageal lesions, when MSEN was diagnosed as high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or squamous cell carcinoma
| Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brownish dots | 88.9 | 42.9 | 44.4 | 88.2 |
| Brownish epithelium | 94.4 | 51.4 | 50 | 94.7 |
| Demarcation line | 66.7 | 62.9 | 48 | 78.6 |
PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value, MSEN minimal superficial esophageal neoplasia
