Diagnostic accuracy measures with corresponding 95% credibility intervals based on the Bayesian latent class model (LCM) with the random effect for the three tests applied.
| Diagnostic Accuracy Measures | Diagnostic Methods | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| GP | H | MA | |
| Se | 99.7 (96.7–99.8) | 94.7 (87.3–99.2) | 51.8 (40.8–62.8) |
| Sp | 97.5 (90.3–99.8) | 1 § | 98.4 (93.8–99.9) |
| PPV | 97.6 (90.5–100) | 1 § | 97.2 (89.1–99.8) |
| NPV | 99.7 (96.5–100) | 94.8 (87.2–99.3) | 66.6 (56.9–74.7) |
GP, gross pathology; H, histopathology; MA, molecular analysis; Se, sensitivity; Sp, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value. § Specificity and positive predictive value of H were fixed to 1.
