Among the patients who died, patients correctly reclassified in the higher risk categories by PIM-3 were 2 divided by the total number of patients who died (n = 27), which is equivalent to 7.4% (Bold squares). However, 10 patients were incorrectly reclassified in the lower risk categories (37%). Among the patients who survived, those correctly reclassified in the lower risk categories were 129 divided by the total number of patients who survived (695), which is equivalent to 18.6% (Italic squares), while 111 were incorrectly reclassified in the higher risk categories (16.1%). The NRI is the sum of the percentages of patients reclassified in surviving and nonsurviving groups: (7.4–37.0%)+(18.6–16.1%)=−29.6%+2.45%=−27.1%
