TABLE 2.

Observed utility for predicting recurrence and/or death and recurrence alone using the fitted model

Outcome Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV
Recurrence and/or death 0.86 0.70 0.84 0.74
Recurrence 0.89 0.80 0.86 0.83

Cutoffs were selected such that the sum of sensitivity and specificity is maximized.

NPV, Negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value.
