Risk strata determined by diagnostic test performances for first occurrence of any component of the primary combined adverse maternal outcome within 2 days: very low risk –LR <0·1; low risk –LR 0·1 to 0·2; moderate risk +LR <5·0 and –LR >0·2; high risk +LR 5·0 to 10·0; very high risk +LR >10·0. AUROC=area under the receiver-operator characteristic. Inf=infinity. –LR=negative likelihood ratio. +LR=positive likelihood ratio. NaN=not a number. Likelihood ratios are presented in addition to stratification performance as the PIERS-ML model was not developed to predict either of these two outcomes.
