FQRS cutoff point | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|
≥1 | 93 | 33 | 29 | 94 |
≥2 | 76 | 68 | 41 | 91 |
≥3b | 69 | 84 | 56 | 90 |
FQRS, fluoroquinolone resistance score; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
The use of a cutoff score of ≥3 to indicate a high predicted risk of fluoroquinolone resistance provides the best performance in the statistical model.
