Table 4. Cutoffs for Fungal Infection (N = 457).

Variable Best cutoffa Sensitivityb Specificityb Youdenc
MELD 19.33 81.8% 58.6% 40.4%
Total bilirubin 4.20 64.0% 67.8% 31.8%
International normalized ratio 1.50 79.2% 54.8% 33.9%
Hemoglobin 11.30 76.0% 49.8% 25.8%

aThe value maximizes Youden statistic. bROC analysis was performed to derive sensitivity and specificity based on a logistic regression model with the continuous variable of interest (e.g., MELD) as the only covariate. cYouden = sensitivity + specificity - 1. MELD: model for end-stage liver disease; ROC: receiver operating characteristic.
