Table 2. Diagnostic Performance of Conventional and Modified CT Angiography Criteria for Hepatic Artery Occlusion.
Parameter | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) | Accuracy (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Conventional criterion (anastomosis site abnormalities alone) | 100 (91.2, 100.0) [40/40] |
74.5 (64.4, 82.9) [70/94] |
62.5 [40/64] |
100 [70/70] |
82.1 (74.5, 88.2) [110/134] |
Modified criterion (both anastomosis site and distal run-off abnormalities) | 92.5 (79.6, 98.4) [37/40] |
93.6 (86.6, 97.6) [88/94] |
86.0 [37/43] |
96.7 [88/91] |
93.3 (87.6, 96.9) [125/134] |
p * | 0.250 | 0.001 | 0.002 |
Data are presented as percentages with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses and number of patients in brackets. Anastomosis site abnormality was defined as more than 50% stenosis at or around the anastomosis. Distal run-off abnormality means no visible, or irregular, faint, and discontinuous enhancement of post anastomotic hepatic artery. *The p values were by comparison between conventional and modified criteria. NPV = negative predictive value, PPV = positive predictive value
