Using the weighted area under the net benefit curve for decision curve analysis
BACKGROUND Risk prediction models have been proposed for various diseases and are being improved as new predictors are identified. A major challenge is to determine whether the newly discovered predictors improve risk prediction. Decision curve analysis has been proposed as an alternative to the area under the curve and net reclassification index to evaluate the performance of prediction models...
متن کاملcomparison of urine culture and urine dipstick analysis in diagnosis of urinary tract infection
urine dipstick is a useful and commonly used test because of its rapidity and low cost; however its diagnostic accuracy is debatable. this research were carried out to determine sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values of nitrite (nit) and leukocyte esterase (le) testing in relation to urine culture. this research was conducted on 100 hospitalized patients with clini...

متن کاملDecision curve analysis revisited: overall net benefit, relationships to ROC curve analysis, and application to case-control studies
BACKGROUND Decision curve analysis has been introduced as a method to evaluate prediction models in terms of their clinical consequences if used for a binary classification of subjects into a group who should and into a group who should not be treated. The key concept for this type of evaluation is the "net benefit", a concept borrowed from utility theory. METHODS We recall the foundations of...
