Table 4.
Diagnostic performance of APTw, MK, and MD values in predicting LNM in cervical cancer.
| Parameters | Cutoff | AUC (95% CI) |
Sensitivity (%) |
Specificity (%) |
p | p for Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| APTw (%) | 2.856 | 0.807 (0.686–0.897) | 82.4 | 70.5 | <0.001 | 0.132 |
| MK | 0.932 | 0.715 (0.585–0.823) | 88.2 | 52.3 | 0.002 | 0.053 |
| MD (×10−3 mm2/s) | 1.171 | 0.675 (0.543–0.790) | 88.2 | 43.2 | 0.017 | 0.010 |
| Combination | - | 0.864 (0.752–0.938) | 76.5 | 88.6 | <0.001 | Ref |
Combination represents APTw + MK + MD. The bold typeface in the table indicates significant difference compared with the Ref by DeLong test. APTw = amide proton transfer-weighted; MK = mean kurtosis; MD = mean diffusivity; LNM = lymph node metastasis; CC = cervical cancer; AUC = area under the curve; Ref = reference.
