However, threshold value discriminating responders and non-responders could be modified by IAH.
The cutoff value, discriminating between the mutant and wild-type sequence, was arbitrarily assigned as 10% mutant allele burden.
On the basis of these findings the definition of a cut-off value discriminating recent TBLI from previous or uninfected HCW would not be feasible.
The threshold value discriminating positive from negative cells was set as the fluorescence level below which 95% of control (TPA untreated) cells occurred.
Based on these considerations, a more appropriate conclusion would be the following: In this study ROMA had a higher AUC value discriminating between malignant and benign tumours than CA125 alone by 2.1% this difference was, however, not significant.
In all cases, ROC curve analysis identified a score of 4 as the best cut-off value discriminating between NP and NNP (values of the area under the curve ranging from 0.85 to 0.87, p < 0.001 in all cases, and the highest values of the Youden's index).
In several organs, such as breast, liver, and uterus, ADC values discriminated well between benign and malignant lesions.
The Ct values discriminated well between reference positive group 1 and reference negative group 1, because the area under the ROC curve was close to the maximum value of one.
The relationship between the GOS and the regional ADC values of the cortex and deep grey nuclei was observed, and cutoffs of ADC values discriminated between an unfavourable and a favourable outcome.
With regard to PCT, a cut-off of 2.10 ng/mL (near our median values) discriminated bacterial-involved (bacterial and mixed) from viral CAP with a positive predictive positive value (PPV) of 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68-0.88) anegativeative predictive value (NPV) of 0.48 (95% CI, 0.38-0.57).
