Factor | S (%) | Sp (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) | LR+ | LR− |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Total calcium (≤8.2 mg/dl) | 96.0 | 54.50 | 49.0 | 96.8 | 2.11 | 0.07 |
Albumin-corrected calcium (≤7.72 mg/dl) | 88.0 | 69.10 | 56.4 | 92.7 | 2.85 | 0.17 |
Odds ratio (OR) for patients with calcium value ≤ 8.2 mg/dl is found to be 28.8 (p value = 0.01) (95% CI: 3.6–228.1) and OR for patients with ACC value ≤ 7.72 mg/dl is found to be 16.4 (p value = 0.001) (95% CI: 4.3–62.3).
