Application of Endoscopy in Improving Survival of Cirrhotic Patients with Acute Variceal Hemorrhage

Figure 1

Receiver operating characteristic curve of “door-to-scope” time for in-hospital mortality. The area under curve is 0.696 (95% C.I. 0.595 ~ 0.797). The most optimal cut-off value (in integer) to predict in-hospital mortality was 15 hours, with sensitivity of 72.0% and specificity of 59.4% (adapted from [20]).
