Fig. 3. Receiver–operator curve, to distinguish Stages 2 and 3 NEC.

Fig. 3

With Stage 3 denoted as “positive” and Stage 2 as “negative,” sensitivity is plotted on the Y-axis and 1-specificity or false positive rate on the X-axis. These parameters are optimized at an AMC change of −75% from baseline, which is 73% sensitive and 87% specific in the diagnosis of Stage 3 NEC, with a positive likelihood ratio of 5.62.
