*Below cut-off value. For example, 138 of our patients had a probability of progressive disease below 0.5. Using this cut-off value, 67% of the patients are correctly classified as getting progressive disease, while 70% are correctly classified as not at risk for progressive disease.
No, number; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value.
