Parameters Evaluated in Univariable and Multivariable Analysis and Their Performance Metrics in the Differentiation of Indolent Versus Aggressive Renal Neoplasms
| Analysis and Model | AUC | P Value* | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Univariable analysis | ||||
| ADC | 0.38 (0.00, 0.73) | … | 39 | 64 |
| RBF | 0.62 (0.08, 1.00) | .20 | 75 | 59 |
| T1 | 0.39 (0.00, 0.72) | .54 | 39 | 68 |
| T2 | 0.83 (0.50, 1.00) | .02 | 82 | 83 |
| Multivariable analysis | ||||
| ADC + RBF | 0.51 (0.00, 0.90) | … | 60 | 59 |
| T1 + T2 | 0.89 (0.60, 1.00) | .06 | 86 | 93 |
| ADC + RBF + T1 | 0.42 (0.00, 0.80) | .50 | 49 | 57 |
| ADC + RBF + T2 | 0.75 (0.38, 1.00) | .13 | 80 | 73 |
| ADC + RBF + T1 + T2 | 0.83 (0.50, 1.00) | .07 | 79 | 87 |
Note.—Data in parentheses are 95% CIs. MR fingerprinting–derived T1 and T2 relaxation times provided complementary information, yielding an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.89 in this analysis. ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, RBF = renal blood flow.
P values for the AUC comparison are presented, using the ADC-only model as the reference for the univariable analysis and the ADC + RBF model as the reference for the multivariable analysis.
