Table 6 Comparison of the areas under the ROC curves for different combined predictive variables.
| Pairs of predictive variables | Difference of AUC | Standard error | 95% CI | Z value | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cp+PA+ipsilateral MEP+contralateral MEP vs Cp+PA+ipsilateral MEP | 0.0455 | 0.0113 | 0.023~0.068 | 4.0294 | 0.0001 |
| Cp+PA+ipsilateral MEP+contralateral MEP vs PA+ipsilateral MEP | 0.0509 | 0.0120 | 0.027~0.074 | 4.2476 | 0.0000 |
| Cp+PA+ipsilateral MEP vs PA+ipsilateral MEP | 0.0054 | 0.0051 | −0.005~0.015 | 1.0580 | 0.2901 |
| NIHSS – National Institute of Health Stroke Scale; Cp – clustering coefficient; PA – peak amplitude; MEP – motor-evoked potentials; AUC – area under the curve; CI – confidence intervals. | |||||
