Final diagnosis
D+	515	16 (FN)	85 (55/30)	616 (TP)
D-	0 (FP)	359	44 (0/44)	403 (TN)
	515 (50.5)	375 (36.8)	129 (55/74) (12.7)	1019

D+ patients with positive final cytological diagnosis, D- patients with negative final cytological diagnosis, true positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP) and false negative (FN).
