A higher cutoff of >3 would be required to achieve a more acceptable specificity of 60%; however, the resultant sensitivity of 74% is unacceptable.
Because the resultant sensitivity expression obtained by this procedure already compromises the effects of all the equality displacement constraints, a simple optimization method, such as the optimality criteria method, can then be used to implement an area constraint.
Resultant sensitivity and specificity were 65.9% and 100%.
Resultant sensitivity and specificity were 89.7 and 82.7% in the training set and 84.6 and 87.7% in the validation set, respectively.
Table 3 shows different cutoff scores, the resultant sensitivity, specificity, chi-square value, PPP, and NPP for alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates.
The resultant sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 18, 100, 100 and 76% for triple assessment and 100, 86, 73 and 100% for DCE-MRI.
Although utilizing this approach for identifying an optimal operating point on the ROC curve is commonplace, the resultant sensitivity of 65% for any such diagnostic instrument which would be used for detecting F-FDG-avid tissue sites would be considered suboptimal and would make any such diagnostic instrument clinically ineffective.
Figure 5a shows the resultant model sensitivity, which decreases with depth, corresponding to the limit of the sounding frequency.
To improve specificity in this group of patients, a higher ADA cut-off of 46 IU/L would give a specificity of 92.9% but a resultant lower sensitivity of 78.%.
The main objective of this study was to compare the resultant analytical sensitivity and quantitative performance of the serum SARS-CoV RNA test when either the manual or automated extraction protocol was used.
