Table 5 Size of lymph nodes and station involvement when associated lymph nodes were reported; sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, accuracy and likelihood ratio
From: Preoperative multidetector-row computed tomography scan staging for lymphatic gastric cancer spread
Characteristic | Radiologically detected | Pathologically infiltrated | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | Accuracy | LR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stations with ≥3 lymph nodes radiologically detected, one of which was >10 mm | 49 | 46 | 22.4 | 99.3 | 93.8 | 88.0 | 74.8 | 32.7 (10.31 to 104.0) |
Patients with >3 lymph nodes >10 mm in neighboring stations | 13 | 13 | 6.3 | 100 | 100 | 69.5 | 70.1 | Not measurable |
