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
