Figure 3 ROC curves shoed the predictive values of DE, DTF, DCV, and D-RSBI for ventilator weaning outcomes of patients with cervical spinal cord injury. ROC – receiver operating characteristics; DE – diaphragm excursion; DTF – diaphragm thickening fraction; DCV – diaphragm contraction velocity, D-RSBI – diaphragmatic-shallow rapid breathing index.
