Sensitivity is the proportion of cases that are MRDpos in BMA and are also MRDpos in PB. Specificity is proportion of cases that are MRDneg in BMA and are also MRDneg in PB. PPV is the proportion of cases that are MRDpos in PB and are also MRDpos in BMA. NPV is the proportion of cases that are MRDneg in PB that are also MRDneg in BMA.

Sn, sensitivity; Sp, specificity.
