(Hint: * Lower values indicate a higher risk for mortality. The
table presents only the variables that yield significant results as for
the values in the area under the ROC curve. For each variable, the
optimal cut-off values with the highest predictive potential for the
estimation of prognostic outcome as well as their sensitivities and
specificities have been presented. For e.g.
The potential of neutrophil count
for estimation of the prognostic outcome is 80.9%. The opitmal cut-off
point is 5.3 and the sensitivity and specificity at this point is 0.719
and 0.745, respectively)
