Peak sNfL | |||
Above 19.6 pg/mL | 17 | 8 | PPV: 67.5% |
Below 19.6 pg/mL | 44 | 90 | NPV: 67.7% |

Peak sNfL % change | |||
Above 68.8% | 26 | 17 | PPV: 59.9% |
Below 68.8% | 35 | 81 | NPV: 70.4% |
Sensitivity: 42.6% | Specificity: 82.7% |
Sensitivity: the proportion of people with Gd+ who were above the specified sNfL threshold compared with the total number of people who developed Gd+.
Specificity: the proportion of people with no Gd+ who were below the specified threshold of sNfL compared with the total number of people with no Gd+.
PPV: positive predictive value or probability that an elevation in sNfL above the identified threshold will have Gd+ lesions.
NPV: negative predictive value or the probability that the absence of an elevation in sNfL above the identified threshold will have Gd+ lesions.
Gd+ = gadolinium-enhancing; sNfL = serum neurofilament light.
