Abbreviations: AUC=area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve; CI=confidence interval; IOTA=international ovarian tumour analysis; LR2=logistic regression model 2; RMI=Risk of Malignancy Index; RMI-1=risk of malignancy index-1; Sens=sensitivity; Spec=specificity; SRMal=a one-step strategy using the IOTA Simple Rules as a first stage test and classifying tumours where the simple rules yield an inconclusive result as malignant; SR+SA=a two-stage strategy using the IOTA simple rules as a first stage test and using subjective assessment for those tumours where the simple rules yield an inconclusive result.
