Table 2 Cut-off points and diagnostic values of variables for the distinction between non- appendicitis patients and appendicitis patients.
| Variables | Cut-off | Diagnostic values | ROC curve | Odds ratio | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | Accuracy | Area (SE) | 95% CI | P | Odds ratio | 95% CI | P | ||
| Ileocolic artery diameter | 2.475 | 92.6% | 95.6% | 95.6% | 92.6% | 94.09% | 0.982 (0.005) | 0.973–0.991 | <0.001 | 273.306 | 127.318–586.691 | <0.001 |
| Ileocolic vein diameter | 3.885 | 86.4% | 97.6% | 97.4% | 87.5% | 91.92% | 0.972 (0.006) | 0.960–0.985 | <0.001 | 259.105 | 106.952–627.716 | <0.001 |
| If both are positive | 83.3% | 99.2% | 99.1% | 85.2% | 91.14% | 620 | 148.448–2589.445 | <0.001 | ||||
| PPV – positive predictive value; NPV – negative predictive value; ROC – receiver operating characteristic; SE – standard error. | ||||||||||||
