Table 2.

Retrospective application of the ICBD [7] and ISG [2] diagnostic criteria: sensitivity* of the criteria at diagnosis and last follow-up

No. (%) of patients fulfilling the criteria (N = 46) Sensitivity (%; 95 % confidence interval)
At diagnosis ICBD 37 (80.4) 80 (67–93)
ISG 8 (17.4) 17 (6.0–28)
At last follow-up ICBD 37 (80.4) 80 (67–93)
ISG 12 (26.1) 26 (13–39)

*Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN); (true positive (TP); false-negative (FN), i.e. not fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of BD, using physician diagnosis of BD as gold standard for the purposes of this retrospective study).
