Discrimination and calibration of risk prediction tools for morbidity outcomes

AUROC POMS-defined morbidity on D3:
AUROC (95% CI; standard error)
HL statistic (p value) AUROC POMS-defined morbidity or failure to return to preoperative mobility on D3 HL statistic (p value) EBWL < 50% at 1 year HL statistic (p value) AUROC: < 28 days alive and out of hospital HL statistic (p value)
POSSUM 0.60
(0.50–0.69; 0.04)
1.85 (0.87) 0.63
(0.55–0.72)
1.36 (0.93) 0.60 (0.52–0.69; 0.04) 11.64 (0.04) 0.66 (0.58–0.74; 0.04) 19.74 (0.47)
OS-MRS 0.62
(0.53–0.70; 0.05)
NA 0.63
(0.55–0.71)
NA 0.59 (0.50–0.67; 0.04) NA 0.62 (0.55 0.70; 0.04) NA

Note: No HL statistics calculated for the OS-MRS as this is an ordinal scale rather than providing a percentage prediction of the outcome
