Discriminant function analysis produced functions based on thyroid indices, which could moderately discriminate between diagnostic groups, but could predict good response to treatment with 89.47% chance of success.
The authors reported that the likelihood of having APN was only moderately discriminated by the risk index (c-statistic of 0.63 for blacks, 0.68 for Hispanics, and 0.62 for whites) [ 23].
In our study, ten loci (Mtub 04, ETR-C, MURU 40, MIRU 10, MIRU 16, Mtub21, ETR-A, MIRU 26, MIRU 31, and QUB-26) were highly discriminatory (HGDI > 0.6), seven loci (MIRU23, Qub11b, Mtub30, Mtub34, Mtub39, MIRU 39, and QUB 4156) moderately discriminate (0.3 ≤ HGDI ≤ 0.6), and seven loci (MIRU02, MIRU04, MIRU20, Mtub 29, ETR-B, MIRU 24, and MIRU27) showed poor discriminatory power (HGDI < 0.3).
In samples from febrile patients with mono-infections from rural settings in Southeast Asia, CRP was a highly sensitive and moderately specific biomarker for discriminating between viral and bacterial infections.
Most of the UC and UU assimilation pairs were discriminated moderately well by the Cantonese group.
Despite being developed in 1999, it still discriminates moderately well between individuals with varying perioperative cardiac risk [ 3, 21▪▪, 22].
A prospective pilot study in 28 sepsis patients showed that CFT, MCF, and α angle discriminated moderately between overt DIC and no DIC.
The model discriminated moderately between those with poor and good mRS scores (c statistic = 0.65), with minor optimism according to bootstrap re-sampling (optimism corrected c statistic = 0.64).
Although it discriminates moderately well between patients with varying risks for cardiac complications, it poorly performs at predicting postoperative mortality [ 3].
VPW was also only moderately able to discriminate whether a hydrostatic component of the edema may also be present in these patients with ALI.
