Abstract

The selection of a test as a reference with no perfect sensitivity and specificity may lead to bias, yielding distortion of the diagnostic performance. This means it is inappropriate to use imperfect diagnostic tests as a reference method to identify infected patients in clinical environments. In this study, diagnostic performance of rapid urease test, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and histology of gastric biopsy specimens for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection separately and in combination was estimated by using non-linear regression. Based on this approach, the sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ration positive and negative values for each test were as follows: urease test 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.6%, respectively; PCR 88.6%, 99.9%, 99.9%, 70.5%, respectively; histology 78.3%, 97%, 78.3%, 97%, respectively. Predictive values for positive and negative changes with varying Combination of three diagnostic tests employed in the study gives no substantial benefit for practitioners to screen infected patients, and urease test or PCR represents an appropriate single test in clinical environments.

감염된 환축을 찾는 진단과정에 완벽하지 못한 진단검사를 사용하는 경우 진단검사 결과는 흔히 왜곡되어 나타난다. 본 연구에서 저자는 Helicobacter pylori 감염을 진단하는데 사용되는 urease 검사, PCR 검사 및 조직학적인 검사법을 단독으로 사용하는 경우와 병행하여 사용하는 상황으로 구분하여 각각 진단적 특성을 평가하였다. 비선형 회귀모형 분석결과 민감도, 특이도, 양성우도비 및 음성우도비는 urease 검사법의 경우 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.9%, 99.6%, PCR 검사의 경우 88.6%, 99.9%, 99.9%, 70.5%, 조직검사법의 경우 78.3%, 97%, 78.3%, 97%fh 나타났다. 예측도는 유병율의 변화에 따라 다양한 값을 보였으며 Helicobacter pylori 감염의 유병율이 35% 이상일 때 조직 검사상 양성결과는 90% 이상의 일치도를 보였고, 유병율이 25% 미만일 때 조직 검사상 음성결과는 90% 이상의 일치도를 보였다. 본 연구결과 임상에서 감염된 개체를 스크리닝하는 목적으로 세가지 진단검사를 병행하는 것은 실질적인 이익이 없으며 단독검사로서 urease 검사와 PCR 검사가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.
