Results of the linear discriminant analysis allowing to see the discrimination of
primary sclerosing cholangitis associated with inflammatory bowel disease (PSC-IBD)
versus inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) alone, based on the combination of the main
bile acids (BAs) present in stool (cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA),
litocholic acid (LCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)). On
the x axis each marker represents a patient. On the
y axis is represented the probability of being correctly
classified as PSC-IBD using the BA analytes. The green markers represent patients
with PSC-IBD and the pink markers represent patients with IBD. The circles
represents patients that were correctly assigned to their disease group. The
classification accuracy of the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was 73%, with a
sensitivity and specificity of 86.7% and 60% respectively.
