TABLE 4.
Diagnostic performance of the scoring system for differentiating pulmonary mucormycosis from invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
| Score | PM (N = 34) | IPA (N = 60) | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −13.0 | 94 | 0 | 100 (90–100) | 0 (0–6) |
| −6.5 | 72 | 22 | 94 (80–99) | 33 (22–47) |
| −0.5 | 59 | 35 | 88 (73–97) | 52 (38–65) |
| 2.5 | 39 | 55 | 71 (53–85) | 75 (62–85) |
| 8.0 | 37 | 57 | 71 (53–85) | 78 (66–88) |
| 13.5 | 21 | 73 | 47 (30–65) | 92 (82–97) |
| 16.5 | 14 | 80 | 29 (15–47) | 93 (84–98) |
| 22.5 | 9 | 85 | 20 (9–38) | 97 (88–100) |
| 29.0 | 0 | 94 | 0 (0–10) | 100 (94–100) |
Note: Three independent predictors were used to build the scoring system: the size of representative lesion ≥ 4 cm (a), reverse halo sign (b), and airway invasive lesion (c). The total score is the sum of the three predictors (a = score 11, b = score 17, and c = score −12). The optimal cut‐off is score of 8.0 (sensitivity 71%, specificity 78%).
