Table 1. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for ROP diagnosis by 7 retinal fellows.*.

Responses are compared to a reference standard of diagnosis by an expert pediatric retinal specialist. Analysis is performed by eye for diagnosis of mild or worse ROP, type-2 or worse ROP, and treatment-requiring ROP. Results are displayed as proportion (standard error), and unknown diagnoses by graders are considered incorrect responses.

Standard error values are reported for each sensitivity, specificity and AUC value.

Unknown diagnoses were provided for 0 (0%) eyes by fellow 1, 41 (17%) eyes by fellow 2, 0 (0%) eyes by fellow 3, 7 (3%) eyes by fellow 4, 7 (3%) eyes by fellow 5, 19 (8%) eyes by fellow 6, and 0 (0%) eyes by fellow 7.
