Table 2.
Discordance between UBT and histopathology findings among different patient age groups
Age (years) | 13C-UBT | 14C-UBT | P | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
# FP | # FN | Discordance [% (n/N)] |
# FP | # FN | Discordance [% (n/N)] |
||
18–30 | 10 | 0 | 29.4 (10/34) | 3 | 0 | 8.3 (3/36) | 0.032 |
31–50 | 15 | 4 | 14.2 (19/134) | 12 | 4 | 10.2 (16/157) | 0.367 |
> 50 | 3 | 3 | 12.2 (6/49) | 19 | 2 | 28.4 (21/74) | 0.045 |
The distribution of discordant findings between both UBT assays in each age group was tested using the Fisher’s exact test, with a P value less than 0.05 considered as statistically significant
FP false positive; FN false negative
