TABLE 2.

The performance of NICS versus TE-PGT on detecting chromosomal abnormalities after the exclusion of MAC embryos.

Embryo N Assay Sensitivity % (95% CI) Specificity % (95% CI) NPV % (95% CI) PPV % (95% CI)
MAC embryos identified by TE-PGT excluded 246 TE-PGT 89.0 (80.9–93.9) 82.6 (75.8–87.7) 92.8 (87.2–96.0) 75.0 (66.1–82.2)
MAC embryos identified by NICS excluded 238 NICS 85.7 (77.1–91.5) 79.6 (72.4–85.3) 90.0 (83.6–94.1) 72.2 (63.1–79.8)
MAC embryos identified by PGT/NICS excluded 229 TE-PGT 89.7 (81.5–94.5) 82.4 (75.3–87.8) 92.9 (87.0–96.2) 75.7 (66.6–83.0)
NICS 87.4 (78.8–92.8) 80.3 (73.0–86.0) 91.2 (84.9–95.0) 73.1 (63.8–80.7)

The performance was assessed by comparing with the CNV from the whole embryo assay as the gold standard. NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; MAC, multiple abnormal chromosomes.
