Macrolide Model

Of n=893 in model, n=159 had intermediate/resistant test results.

Area under the ROC curve: 0.67, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit p-value: 0.56

Penicillin Model

Of n=1412 in model, n=350 with intermediate/resistant test results.

Area under the ROC curve: 0.65, Hosmer-Lemeshow p-value: 0.57

Cephalosporin Model

Of n=1210 in model, n=111 with intermediate/resistant test results.

Area under the ROC curve: 0.69, Hosmer-Lemeshow p-value: 0.49
