Measurement of the Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Improves the Risk Prediction in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Figure 4

Increasing predictive capacity of the models. The -statistics measures the overall AUCs of the prediction models and displays the overall predictive powers of the models in a more conservative fashion than Cox regression. AUC = area under the curve; RDW = red blood cell distribution width; NT-proBNP = N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
