Fig. 3. Graph shows receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves
for standardized (solid line) and nonstandardized (dotted
line) peak systolic velocities for moderate to severe middle cerebral
artery narrowing spasm. Area of high sensitivity of ROC curve is above
dashed-and-dotted horizontal line at 0.75. Best efficiency (94%) was
associated with nonstandardized velocity threshold of 182 cm/sec and with
threshold of 170% of standardized peak systolic velocity.
Az (total area under ROC curve) = 0.934 for standardized,
0.923 for nonstandardized velocities. Azp (partial area
under ROC curve) = 0.214 for standardized, 0.204 for nonstandardized
velocities.
