After reading the article by Ivan K. Poon et al. Certain issues regarding the methodology must be addressed.First, it was not sufficient using only sensitivity and specificity. Second, we think the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) as well as the index of area under curve (AUC) could better be demonstrated in this, it was not sufficient using only sensitivity and specificity. Second, we think the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) as well as the index of area under curve (AUC) could better be demonstrated in this article for a more comprehensive understanding of this diagnostic test accuracy when comparing different tests.With using more comprehensive indexes including Youden's index, LR and AUC, the conclusions of Ivan K. Poon and his colleagues would be sodified. |
