Table 3. Diagnostic statistics for assessing accuracies for the indices at the mean values.

ROX: Respiratory rate-oxygenation index, mROX: modified Respiratory rate-oxygenation index. Note- *mark indicates that the values were specific for high-flow nasal cannula failure prevalence of 48.15%, as found in our study.
