| Group | Sensitivity (95% CI) | Specificity (95% CI) | + TPV | − PV | AUC | Z value | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NO DR | 40.91 (20.7–63.6) | 81.82 (59.7–94.7) | 69.2 | 58.1 | 0.581 | 0.93 | 0.352 |
| NPDR | 68.18 (45.1–86.1) | 86.36 (65.1–96.9) | 83.3 | 73.1 | 0.757 | 3.51 | < 0.001 |
| PDR | 86.36 (65.1–96.9) | 81.82 (59.7–94.7) | 82.6 | 85.7 | 0.91 | 8.17 | < 0.001 |
+ PV positive predictive value, − PV negative predictive value, AUC area under the curve
