Predictive characteristics of interstitial pneumonia patterns on day 7 chest radiographs and other associated factors for BPD or death before 36 weeks postmenstrual age

Cut-off valuea Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV
Birth weight 1000 g 66% 84% 74% 75%
Gestational age 28 weeks 80% 72% 66% 84%
Invasive ventilation on day 7 of life - 60% 91% 82% 77%
Interstitial pneumonia patterns on day 7 chest radiographs - 25% 98% 89% 66%

PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value
