ROC curve. Mortality predictive values of APP. The curve describes the association between sensitivity and specificity at different thresholds of APP in predicting mortality. Cut-off values shown in the figure are 80.66 mmHg (true positive rate 57%, false positive rate 50%), 66.94 mmHg (true positive rate 85.1%, false positive rate 41.7%) and 62.26 mmHg (true positive rate 90.4%, false positive rate 33.3%). ROC curves that approach the upper leftmost corner represent highly accurate studies - in this case, the area under the curve (AUC) is 0.548. Accuracy of APP in predicting mortality has failed; also this ROC curve analysis is not significant - p value 0.583.
