Table 2 Diagnostic accuracy of UBT and Hp StAR
| UBT | Hp StAR | |
| Sensitivity | 91.8 (87.4–91.8) | 100 (95.2–100) |
| Sens=TP/(TP+FN) | ||
| Specificity | 100 (98.6–100) | 97.4 (96–97.4) |
| Spec=TN/(TN+FP) | ||
| Positive predictive value | 100 (95.2–100) | 91.8 (87.4–91.8) |
| +PV=TP/(TP+FP) | ||
| Negative predictive value | 97.4 (96–97.4) | 100 (98.6–100) |
| –PV=TN/(TN+FN) | ||
| Positive likelihood ratio | ¥ (60.9–¥) | 38.8 (23.2–38.8) |
| +LR=Sens/(100–Spec) | ||
| Negative likelihood ratio | 8.2 (8.2–12.8) | 0 (0–0.05) |
| –LR=(100–Sens)/Spec |
