Table 4.

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
