The Relationship between Ischemic Stroke Patients with and without Retroflex Tongue: A Retrospective Study

Table 3

The ROC curve of retroflex tongue and NIHSS and Barthel Index of ischemic stroke patients.

Criterion values and coordinates of ROC curve					Area under the ROC curve
Value	Sensitivity	Specificity	+LR	−LR	Area	SE	95% CI	value
NIHSS ≥ 9	0.756	0.562	1.727	0.434	0.703	0.031	0.643–0.764	<0.001
Barthel Index ≤ 17	0.602	0.751	2.420	0.530	0.712	0.030	0.653–0.771	<0.001

Sensitivity: true positive rate; specificity: true negative rate.
LR+, positive likelihood ratio; LR−, negative likelihood ratio.
; .
Area: area under the curve; has significant statistical differences.
