Serum resistin concentrations predict disease progression in relation to the survival or death of female dogs carrying CBMT. This situation was analyzed through performance indices, including segregation in scatter plots, ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve indices, Area Under the Curve/global precision (AUC), Co- positivity (Co-pos), Co-negativity (Co-neg), Positive and negative predictive values (NPV and PPV), as well as negative and positive Likelihood Ratio (LR– and LR+) Performance indices suggested that serum resistin concentrations >8,400 are useful biomarkers to predict survival in female dogs with CBMT.
