Test Performance in Validation Cohort at 3 Years of Follow Up

Predicted Cohort Performance Characteristics

Population N Baseline 3-yr DRFS % Predicted Rx Sensitive % NPV (DRFS) % PPV % ARR
All Patients 198 79 (74–85) 28 92 (85 – 100) 25 (18 – 33) 18 (6 – 28)
 ER+ 124 89 (83–95) 30 97 (91 – 100) 14 (6 – 21) 11 (0.1 – 21)
 ER− 74 64 (53–76) 26 83 (68 – 100) 43 (28 – 55) 26 (4 – 48)

Estimates of negative predictive value (NPV), i.e. 3-year distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), positive predictive value (PPV) and absolute risk reduction (ARR) of predicted treatment (Rx) sensitive patients compared to predicted treatment-insensitive patients at 3 years (median) follow up (95% confidence interval bounds in parentheses). The results are shown for all patients and for relevant subsets according to positive (ER+) or negative (ER−) pathological estrogen receptor status of the tumor.
