Summary accuracy measures in the validation sample for our proposed model and two of the models proposed in [2]a

Our proposed model
Estimate (95 % confidence interval)
Previously validated core model
Estimate (95 %
confidence interval)
Previously validated extended model
Estimate (95 % confidence interval)
Sensitivity 72.3 % (66.4–77.6 %) 83.8 % (78.7–88.0 %) 92.7 % (88.6–95.4 %)
Specificity 62.5 % (54.9–69.6 %) 47.7 % (40.2–55.4 %) 44.3 % (36.9–52.0 %)
Positive predictive value 74.0 % (68.1–79.2 %) 70.3 % (64.8–75.3 %) 71.1 % (65.9–75.8 %)
Negative predictive value 60.4 % (52.9–67.5 %) 66.7 % (57.6–74.7 %) 80.4 % (70.9–87.5 %)
Correct classification 68.3 % (63.7–72.6 %) 69.3 % (64.7–73.5 %) 73.2 % (68.7–77.2 %)

aIn calculating these measures, we used ‘positive’ to denote an acceptable outcome (eGOS > 4)
