Table 3.
Area under the receiver-operator characteristic curve (AUC) for Bayesian network versus LabRespond and z-test results when switching errors were made contingent on magnitude of discrepancy between true and switched value.
| Bayes Net | LabRespond | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean (± S.D.) | Mean (± S.D.) | Z* | |
| Small (≥ 0.50 units) HbA1c error | 0.76 (± 0.010) | 0.69 (± 0.01) | 9.12 |
| Medium (≥ 0.75 units) HbA1c error | 0.83 (± 0.010) | 0.79 (± 0.02) | 3.58 |
| Large (≥ 1.00 unit) HbA1c error | 0.87 (± 0.010) | 0.84 (± 0.02) | 3.08 |
| Small (≥ 0.278 mmol/L) Glucose error | 0.68 (± 0.004) | 0.59 (± 0.01) | 16.08 |
| Medium (≥ 0.555 mmol/L) Glucose error | 0.73 (± 0.005) | 0.65 (± 0.01) | 17.00 |
