Table 3.

Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of RSBI, DE, and DTF to predict successful extubation

Parameter Cut-off Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)
RSBI (breaths/min/L) 100 66.7 53.8 66.7 53.8
DE (mm) 11.43 77.8 84.6 87.5 73.3
DTF (%) 22.33 61.1 84.6 84.6 61.1

PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; RSBI: rapid shallow breathing index; DE: diaphragm excursion; DTF: diaphragm thickening fraction.
