Table 4. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of our model in low-risk predictive patients in validation group.
Predicted risk | Patient number and percentage (%) | Number of patients with ALN metastasis | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | Accuracy (%) | FNR (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
<7.1% | 6 (2.6) | 0 | 100 | 6 | 100 | 0 |
<13.8% | 19 (8.1) | 1 | 99.2 | 17.8 | 94.7 | 5.3 |
<18.2% | 23 (9.8) | 2 | 98.5 | 20.8 | 91.3 | 8.7 |
<20% | 29 (23.1) | 5 | 96.2 | 23.8 | 82.8 | 17.2 |
<30% | 55 (23.5) | 14 | 89.5 | 40.6 | 74.5 | 25.5 |

Validation group (n = 234): patients with positive lymph node (n = 133, 56.8%); patients with negative lymph node (n = 101, 43.2%).
ALN: axillary lymph node; FNR: false negative rate.
