Mortality risk prediction rules for 386 HIV/CM inpatients in the derivation cohort. A Interactive dot diagram. The total score calculated by the prediction model labels the vertical axis of the above plot, and the clinical outcome of a patient during hospitalization marks the horizontal axis. The scores for each patient are displayed as dots on two vertical axes. The horizontal line indicates the cut-off point with the best separation. When using a score of 5.5 as the cut-off value to predict the mortality risk of HIV/CM inpatients, the sensitivity of our scoring system was 74.1% (95% CI, 0.610–0.847), and its specificity was 83.8% (95% CI,0.794–0.877). B The ROC curve. Each point on the ROC curve represents a sensitivity/specificity pair corresponding to a particular decision threshold. The AUC is a measure of how well a parameter can distinguish between two groups (survivors/non- survivors). ROC, Receiver operator characteristic; AUC, area under the ROC curve; Sens, sensitivity; Spec, specificity
