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%).
