Evaluation of testing methods. All the data of evaluation of testing methods in this study were entered into excel software, and the separation and culture method was used as the reference method, and SPSS25.0 was used to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative prediction of rolling circle nucleic acid amplification technology and SAT method for detecting gonorrhea pathogens value. The results showed that the urine rolling circle nucleic acid amplification method had the highest sensitivity for detecting gonorrhea pathogens, and the urine SAT method had the lowest sensitivity, and the difference was statistically significant (); the specificity was opposite, and the difference was statistically significant (). There was no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity between the swab rolling circle nucleic acid amplification method and the swab SAT method (). There was no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity between urine rolling circle nucleic acid amplification and swab rolling circle nucleic acid amplification ().
