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).

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.
