Table 4. Comparison of the diagnostic measurements for category 4 /5 lesions with M-NBI diagnosis according to the VS classification system between the non-biopsy group and the biopsy group.
Non-biopsy group (n = 32) | Biopsy group (n = 67) | P value | |
Accuracy (95 % CI) | 88 % (71.0 – 96.5) | 66 % (53.1 – 76.8) | 0.02 |
Sensitivity (95 % CI) | 95 % (77.2 – 99.9) | 89 % (76.4 – 96.4) | 0.39 |
Specificity (95 % CI) | 70 % (34.8 – 93.3) | 14 % (3.0 – 36.3) | < 0.01 |
Positive predictive value (95 % CI) | 88 % (67.6 – 97.3) | 69 % (56.1 – 80.8) | 0.09 |
Negative predictive value (95 % CI) | 88 % (47.3 – 99.7) | 38 % (8.5 – 75.5) | 0.04 |
M-NBI, magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging; VS, vessel plus surface; CI, confidence interval.
