Table 2.

AUC results for each of the three centres individually and for the whole dataset overall

Site Nodules (n) Cancer (%) LCP-CNN (95% CI) Brock (95% CI) Maximal axial diameter (95% CI)
Leeds 438 20.3 88.1 (84.3 to 91.5) 83.4 (78.9 to 87.5) 77.6 (72.5 to 82.4)
Nottingham 423 22.0 89.0 (85.3 to 92.3) 87.3 (82.8 to 91.2) 82.3 (77.0 to 87.4)
Oxford 536 9.7 91.9 (88.5 to 94.9) 91.3 (87.3 to 94.6) 91.0 (86.8 to 94.4)
All 1397 16.8 89.6 (87.6 to 91.5)* 86.8 (84.3 to 89.1)* 83.1 (80.3 to 85.8)

‘Diameter’ simply means stratifying the nodules according to the maximal diameter on an axial slice and using that to create a receiver operating curve.

*P=0.0044 for LCP-CNN versus Brock.

AUC, area under the curve; LCP-CNN, lung cancer prediction convolutional neural network.
