Table 4. Predictability of the EGFR mutation status by the combinations of well-established clinical factors with or without SUVmax.

EGFR mutation status Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Accuracy
Clinical predictors Positive Negative
Female & Non-smoker * Yes 182 115 54% 71% 61% 65% 64%
No 152 285
Non-smoker & SUVmax ≤ 2.69 Yes 131 83 39% 79% 61% 61% 61%
No 203 317
Female & Non-smoker Yes 110 66 33% 84% 63% 60% 60%
& SUVmax ≤ 2.69 No 224 334

* means pack-years ≤ 5.

PPV = positive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value.
