Table 1. Proportion of FFPE DML identified as DML in FF (positive predictive value) and sensitivity.

Measurements comparing FFPE and FF DML Δβ-value threshold cutoffs for FFPE DML , FF DML
0.17, 0.17 0.10, 0.10 0.10, 0.17 0.17, 0.10
Sensitivity (95% CI) 0.29(0.22, 0.38) 0.08(0.07, 0.09) 0.72(0.63, 0.79) 0.02(0.01, 0.02)
Positive Predictive Value* (95% CI) 0.87(0.73, 0.95) 0.49(0.44, 0.53) 0.23(0.19, 0.28) 0.96(0.85, 0.99)

*Proportion of FFPE DML identified in WCHS cohort as DML in FF. Using a Δβ-value threshold of .17 in FFPE a total of 45 DML were identified and using Δβ-value = .10 a total of 410 DML were identified.
