Table 3.

Age-defined population-specific thresholds for HE4, CA125, and the ROMA Predictive Index yielding 90%, 95%, 98% and 99% specificity. For CA 125 the reference range is applicable to all women in the age-range indicated. Thresholds for HE4 for a woman whose age is not presented in the table can be calculated by linear interpolation between the ln(threshold) values.
