ROC curve analyses of diagnostic performance of combinations of various variables.
| Characteristics | AUC | 95% CI | Sensitivity | Specificity | Youden index | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clin | 0.879 | (0.825, 0.933) | 0.865 | 0.744 | 0.610 | <0.001 |
| Clin + Conven MRI | 0.901 | (0.851, 0.950) | 0.788 | 0.833 | 0.625 | <0.001 |
| Clin + Conven MRI + NERF | 0.924 | (0.881, 0.967) | 0.788 | 0.889 | 0.677 | <0.001 |
ROC, receiver operating characteristic; AUC, area under ROC curve; Clin = age + histological grade; Conven MRI = nonenhanced T2/FLAIR hyperintensity lesions + enhancement of residual cavity wall; NERF, new enhancement beyond the radiation field.
