Table 3 Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value of coronary artery calcium score compared with dobutamine stress echocardiography for detection of coronary artery disease prior to liver transplantation (all patients with valid result for either test).

Outcome = obstructive CAD	Comparing equality of sensitivity	Comparing equality of specificity
DSE vs CACS with 100 as cutoff	0.14 (−0.12 to 0.40)
DSE vs CACS with 400 as cutoff	0.00 (−0.40 to 0.40)	−0.03 (−0.21 to 0.14)
