Table 8 The performance of three or more total and any displaced rib fracture, TTSS and Ribscore in prediction of complication
From: The number of displaced rib fractures is more predictive for complications in chest trauma patients
Patient with complication | Patient without complication | Sensitivity (95% CI ) | Specificity (95% CI ) | PPV (95% CI ) | NPV (95% CI ) | OR (95% CI ) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Three or more rib fracture or any displacement | 102 | 45 | 94.4% (88–98%) | 31.8% (21–44%) | 69.4% (61–77%) | 77.8% (58–91%) | 7.93 (3–20.99) |
TTSS > 4 | 86 | 22 | 79.6% (71–87%) | 66.7% (54–78%) | 79.6% (71–87%) | 67% (54–78%) | 7.82 (3.91–15.6) |
TTSS > 7 | 41 | 0 | 38% (29–48%) | 100% (95–100%) | 100% (91–100%) | 49.6% (41–58%) | NA |
Ribscore >0 | 81 | 17 | 75% (66–83%) | 74.2% (62–84%) | 82.7% (74–90%) | 64.5% (52.7–75.1%) | 8.65 (4.28–17.46) |
Ribscore > 1 | 35 | 1 | 32.4% (24–43%) | 98.5% (92–100%) | 97.2% (85–100%) | 47.1% (39–56%) | 31.16 (4.15–233.91) |
