Figure 2From: Failure of available scoring systems to predict ongoing infection in patients with abdominal sepsis after their initial emergency laparotomy Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves associated with the area under the curves depicted in Table 3. ROC's are displayed for the scoring systems measured at a single time point (APACHE-II(), SAPS-II(), MPI() compared to the reference line ()) and for sequential scoring systems (MODS(), SOFA(), APS() compared to the reference line ()) measured at day 1 and at day 2.Back to article page
