3.4 ROC curve of the LDH and/or DIC score for ARE
Because the LDH value and DIC score were found to be statistically significant continuous variables on univariate analysis, they were chosen as candidate predictive factors of ARE during induction therapy. The AUC of the LDH value was excellent at 0.84 (95% CI: 0.73-0.95; N=75). The AUC of the DIC score was outstanding at 0.90 (95%CI: 0.82-0.98; N=46). The LDH value and DIC score were then combined, and the AUC was computed. The result was outstanding at 0.94 (95%CI: 0.87-1.00; N=46).
