Cut-off determination for fluorescence index. (a) Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of ANA screening with algorithm evaluation. Sens.: sensitivity, Spec.: specificity, PV+: positive predictive value, and PV−: negative predictive value. (b) Accuracy as a function of fluorescence index cut-off. Accuracy is the ratio between the number of correct prediction with algorithm and the total number of patients. Here the calculated cut-off is 1.246.
