Sensitivity % (95% CI)	91.7 (82.7–96.9)	96.5 (90.1–99.3)
Specificity % (95% CI)	95.7 (78.1–99.9)	88.2 (72.5–96.7)
PPV % (95% CI)	98.5 (92–100)	95.4 (88.6–98.7)
NPV % (95% CI)	78.6 (59–91.7)	90.9 (75.7–98.1)
Kappa (95% CI)	0.81 (0.68–0.95)	0.86 (0.75–0.96)

95% CI: 95% confidence interval; FICE: Fujinon intelligent color enhancement; DCE: digital chromoendoscopy; CE: real-time chromoendoscopy; PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value.
