ROC analysis of cranial ultrasound indices and surgical intervention time.
Fig. 3. (A) (B) (C) (D) Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves demonstrating the ability of TVW and both sides of VI, VH, and TOD in predicting the adverse outcomes of significant neurodevelopmental impairment and death. (E) ROC curves demonstrating the ability of surgical intervention time (SIT), summary of cranial ultrasonography (cUS) indices, and SIT & cUS indices in predicting the adverse outcomes. There were significant differences in the area under the curves (AUCs) between measurements of SIT and SIT & cUS indices (P = 0.05), cUS indices and SIT & cUS indices (P = 0.002).
Abbreviations: VI, ventricular index; VH, ventricular height; TOD, thalamo-occipital distance; TVW, third ventricular width; AUC, area under the curve; SE, standard error; SIT, surgical intervention time
