| Criteria | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WHO criteria | 0.20 | 0.96 | 0.14 | 0.97 |
| Modified criteria (fasting (100 mg/dL) and two-hours postglucose ≥ 140 mg/dL) | 0.08 | 0.99 | 0.18 | 0.97 |
| Carpenter and Coustan's criteria | 1.0 | 0.97 | 0.54 | 1.0 |
NPV: negative predictive value, PPV: positive predictive value, WHO: World Health Organization.
