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).
