Table 3 Optimal cut offs based on probability with sensitivity and specificity
From: Risk factors for postpartum sepsis: a nested case-control study
Method | Optimal Cutoff of probability | Sensitivity% | Specificity% | *PPV | *NPV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
High sensitivity and low specificity | 0.069 | 82% (73.0–88.6) | 64.8% (60.4–65.9) | 31.9% (28.7–35.2) | 94.7% (92.1–96.4) |
Similar sensitivity and specificity | 0.086 | 76.3% (66.3–83.9) | 74.0% (71.4–79.6) | 38.7% (34.3–43.3) | 94.0% (91.7–95.7) |
High specificity and low sensitivity | 0.106 | 70.0% (62.1–80.5) | 80.7% (77.1–84.2) | 43% (37.8–48.6) | 93.5% (91.2–95.1) |
