Figure 2 Performance of serological markers in discriminating sepsis.
A: C reactive protein; B: D-dimer; C: Heparin binding protein. Sensitivity is plotted on Y axis and specificity on X axis. Performance percentages are in the lower right box. Selection of cutoff values is based on the best performance (highest sensitivity and specificity simultaneously). AUC: Area under the curve; PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: Negative predictive value.
