  1. Net reclassification index (NRI) calculation
  2. Original fullPIERS model
  3. Sensitivity = 37/44*100 = 84.1%; Specificity = 22/497*100 = 4.4%
  4. fullPIERS model + PlGF (extended fullPIERS model)
  5. Sensitivity = 29/44*100 = 65.9%; Specificity =81/497*100 = 16.3%
  6. Improved sensitivity = 65.9–84.3% = −18.4%; Improved specificity = 16.3–4.4% = 11.9%
  7. NRI = Improved sensitivity + Improved specificity = − 18.4% + 9.7% = −8.7%
