Table 4.
Predicting new disrupted luminal surface (DLS) or intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) using a single baseline predictor: CAS, stenosis or a plaque burden measure (N=73 subjects without DLS or IPH at baseline).
| Outcome |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DLS | IPH | DLS or IPH | ||||
| AUC (95% CI) | p* | AUC (95% CI) | p* | AUC (95% CI) | p* | |
| CAS | 0.96 (0.92, 1.00) | <0.001 | 0.68 (0.42, 0.94) | 0.142 | 0.86 (0.71, 1.00) | <0.001 |
| Stenosis | 0.65 (0.43, 0.88) | 0.183 | 0.74 (0.52, 096) | 0.110 | 0.69 (0.50, 0.89) | 0.063 |
| Wall volume | 0.58 (0.36, 0.81) | 0.465 | 0.74 (0.43, 1.00) | 0.104 | 0.59 (0.37, 0.81) | 0.383 |
| Mean NWI | 0.84 (0.67, 1.00) | 0.003 | 0.78 (0.60, 0.95) | 0.065 | 0.84 (0.70, 0.99) | 0.001 |
| Max WT | 0.75 (0.60, 0.90) | 0.030 | 0.78 (0.59, 0.97) | 0.062 | 0.76 (0.62, 0.90) | 0.013 |
AUC=area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, CI=confidence interval, NWI=normalized wall index, WT=wall thickness.
Test for AUC > 0.5.
P-values were computed using an exact method, so are more reliable than the confidence intervals, which were computed using an approximation.
