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).
