Table 5. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of ultrasound in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Trimester Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Accuracy + LH - LH
First 14.06% 98.65% 39.13% 94.90% 93.73% 10.0 0.87
Second 27.78% 98.14% 45.45% 96.06% 94.43% 14.6 0.73
Third 23.91% 97.76% 36.67% 95.94% 93.95% 10.9 0.78

PPV = positive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value; +LH = positive likelihood ratio; -LH = negative likelihood ratio.
