Table 2.

The performance of NIPT for detection of fetal aneuploidy

NIPT result (N = 14,316) Positive(n) TP(n) FN(n) Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV
T21 49 45 1 97.83% 99.97% 91.84% 99.99%
T18 16 11 0 100.00% 99.99% 68.75% 100.0%
T13 16 6 0 100.00% 99.96% 37.50% 100.0%
XO 29 22 0 100.00% 99.96% 75.86% NA
XXY 16 8 0 100.00% 99.96% 50.00% NA
XYY 9 5 0 100.00% 99.98% 55.56% NA
XXX 9 3 0 100.00% 99.96% 33.33% NA
CNV 14 2 NA 14.29% NA
other autosomal aneuploidy abnormalities 31 2 NA 6.45% NA
Total 189 104 55.03% NA

Since sex chromosome abnormalities and CNV abnormalities may not appear clinically during follow-up, it is impossible to calculate false negatives or false positives, so sensitivity and specificity are not calculated

NPV negative predictive value, PPV positive predictive value, Positive the NIPT(+), TP true positive, both NIPT(+) and interventional prenatal diagnosis (+), FN false negative, PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value
