Table 5 Detection value of different sampling methods.
| Group | Sensitivity | Specificity | Accuracy | Positive predictive value | Negative predictive value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Negative-pressure aspiration (n=48) | 89.66% | 78.95% | 85.42% | 86.67% | 83.33% |
| Fractional curettage (n=36) | 80.00% | 87.50% | 83.33% | 88.89% | 77.78% |
| χ | 5.882 | 4.122 | 0.384 | 0.265 | 1.754 |
| 0.015 | 0.042 | 0.535 | 0.607 | 0.178 | |
| Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated based on comparison with the criterion standard (surgical histopathology). The chi-square test was used for comparison. | |||||
