UNASSIGNED: Context .- Community-based programs are a common way of promoting @entity14 screening by primary care physicians. @entity1241 ( @entity1241 ) is a screening method commonly used in such programs. @entity1241 has advantages to the @entity1 as well as to clinical laboratories. Objective .- To assess the operational test characteristics of a @entity1241 pilot program in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, between April 2011 and May 2012. Design .- Four hundred fifty-seven high-risk @entity1 undergoing both @entity1241 and colonoscopy were included. Areas under the curve and positive predictive values were derived for @entity1241 values and biopsy-proven @entity5 . Subgroup analysis was also performed on @entity1 and @entity1 and for ages older and younger than the mean age of 62 years. Results .- For @entity14 and @entity1586 the areas under the curve were 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.71-0.87) and 0.60 (95% confidence interval 0.54-0.65), respectively. The positive predictive value of a positive @entity1241 result for any @entity5 was 53%. The overall performance of the test for all @entity5 was better for @entity1 and better for older individuals. Conclusions .- The performance of @entity1241 in this clinical setting was very good for detecting @entity189 , but marginal for detection of @entity1586 .
