Table 5 Comparison of detection index between different detection methods and fungal culture method (golden standard)
From: A study on the accuracy of a new fluorescent detection method for vaginal fungi
Method | Positive coincidence rate | Negative coincidence rate | Accuracy | Kappa (K) | McNemar (M) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Liquid-based fungal method | 87.85 | 94.51 | 90.91 | 0.81 | 0.09 | < 0.01 |
Saline smear method | 45.79 | 97.80 | 69.70 | 0.417 | 0.01 | < 0.01 |
