FIGURE 1.

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for platelet count in dogs experiencing adverse events (AE) after stereotactic brain biopsy versus those that did not develop AE. The black diagonal line represents a completely uninformative test, wherein the area under the curve (AUC) is 50%. The area under the ROC curve represented by the blue line is 0.866 (95% confidence interval, 0.62‐1.0). A platelet count of 185 000/mm³ (*) optimally discriminated dogs that developed AE after stereotactic brain biopsy (SBB) from those that did not, with a corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 87.5 and 78%, respectively
