Table 3.
Evaluation of Sensitivity and Specificity of HBV, HCV, and HEV Amplification by Uniplex and Multiplex PCR.
| Uniplex PCR, n = 54 (%) | Multiplex PCR, n = 54 (%) | Quality evaluation parameters | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HBV positive HBV negative |
18 (33.3) 36 (66.7) |
16 (29.6) 38 (70.4) |
Sensitivity = 88.9 ± 4% Specificity = 100% PPV = 100% NPV = 94.7 ± 7% |
| HCV positive HCV negative |
16 (29.6) 38 (70.4) |
14 (25.9) 40 (74.1) |
Sensitivity = 87.5 ± 8% Specificity = 100% PPV = 100% NPV = 95 ± 7% |
| HEV positive HEV negative |
23 (42.6) 31 (57.4) |
17 (31.5) 37 (68.5) |
Sensitivity = 73.9 ± 8% Specificity = 100% PPV = 100% NPV = 83.8 ± 12% |
PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value.
