To determine how well sendout and in-house test results can be anticipated based on basic information available in the medical record, we used two independent methods-generalized linear modeling (GLM) and classification and regression trees (CART)to build simple, robust test-result predictors and then evaluated the performance of these predictors according to the standard clinical metrics of positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), as well as sensitivity and specificity via the receiveroperator curve (ROC) area under the curve (AUC). ./cache/cord-001253-3jnkki5z.txt ./txt/cord-001253-3jnkki5z.txt
