ACC accuracy
SEN sensitivity
SPE specificity
TP number of true positives, i.e., patient presenting severe complication correctly predicted as positive
TN number of true negatives, i.e., patient without severe complication correctly predicted as negative
FP number of false positives, i.e., patient without severe complication wrongly predicted as positive
FN number of false negatives, i.e., patient presenting severe complication wrongly predicted as negative
Total total number of the patients, i.e., TP + TN + FP + FN
P number of patients presenting severe complication, i.e., TP + FN
N number of patients without severe complication, i.e., TN + FP
AUC area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for binary outcome
T threshold for a patient is classified as presenting severe complication if X > T, where X is predicted probability of a patients presenting severe complication by an algorithm.
