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.
