Diagnostic value of EEG combined with NSE in differentiating children with febrile seizures
Area under the curve (AUC) | Confidence interval (CI) | Cut-off | Sensitivity | Specificity | Youden index | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
EEG | 0.600 | 0.509-0.691 | 0.500 | 40.00% | 80.00% | 20.00% |
NSE | 0.807 | 0.719-0.895 | 12.425 | 72.73% | 85.00% | 57.73% |
EEG+NSE | 0.814 | 0.728-0.899 | 0.542 | 78.18% | 75.00% | 53.18% |
Note: EEG, electroencephalogram; NSE, neuron-specific enolase.
