Mean 95% CI Mean 95% CI Mean 95% CI Mean 95% CI Mean 95% CI
Clinical factors alone* 69.1 65.5 to 72.0 27.6 18.8 to 37.7 87.0 80.0 to 92.5 48.2 38.9 to 57.1 73.6 71.7 to 75.7
Clinical factors + continuous GGI 71.2 67.7 to 74.2 37.9 30.4 to 46.4 85.6 81.2 to 88.8 53.1 45.1 to 60.4 76.2 73.9 to 78.4
GGI risk categories alone 57.6 51.0 to 64.1 85.5 75.0 to 92.8 45.6 37.7 to 53.7 40.4 32.4 to 48.8 88.0 79.0 to 94.1

NOTE. For the logistic regression models the 95% CIs of the performance statistic represent the cross-validated CIs (ie, they contain 95% of the cross-validated values of the statistic). For the single-marker model (GGI), the 95% CI is based on the exact binomial interval.

Abbreviations: GGI, genomic grade index; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.

*

Age at diagnosis, estrogen receptor status, nodal status, histologic grade, and tumor stage.

Dichotomized as GGI high risk compared to GGI low risk.
