Detailed sensitivity and specificity report for EGFR mutation predicted probability cut-points of 0.2 and 0.6

Development group Validation group
0.2 0.6 0.2 0.6
Sensitivity 68.27% 21.69% 63.33% 23.33%
Specificity 78.21% 95.25% 79.20% 96.49%
Positive predictive value 45.70% 55.10% 40.71% 60.00%
Negative predictive value 90.17% 81.91% 90.54% 84.80%
Informedness index a 0.46 0.17 0.43 0.2

a Informedness index is calculated as sensitivity+specificity-1. Interpretation: 0 means the test is useless, 1 means the test is perfect, and a value of > 0 means an appropriate use of information [Reference: Youden WJ. Index for rating diagnostic tests. Cancer. 1950;3(1):32–5]
