Adenoma present (solid line partitions)

Test sensitivity=sum of cells in box (a)/sum of cells in boxes (a)+(c)=297/356=83.4%.

Test specificity=sum of cells in box (d)/sum of cells in boxes (d)+(b)=107/143=74.8%.

Error rate=(b+c)/N=95/499=19.0%.

Surveillance required (dashed line partitions)

Test sensitivity=sum of cells in box (a)/sum of cells in boxes (a)+(c′)=119/163=73.0%.

Test specificity=sum of cells in box (d′)/sum of cells in boxes (d′)+(b′)=254/336=75.6%.

Exact matching=sum of cells with matching surveillance interval / N=339/499=67.9%.

Conservative matching=sum of cells with matching or over surveillance/N=437/499=87.6%.

Error rate=(b′+c′)/N=126/499=25.2%.
