From: Remote noninvasive allograft rejection monitoring for heart transplant recipients: study protocol for the novel evaluation with home electrocardiogram and remote transmission (NEW HEART) study

Criterion

Definition

Sensitivity

Proportion of those with acute rejection who are positive for the ECG criterion

Specificity

Proportion of those without rejection who are negative for the ECG criterion

Positive Predictive Value

Proportion of patients with positive ECG criterion who have rejection

Negative Predictive Value

Proportion of patients with negative ECG criterion who do not have rejection

Predictive Accuracy

# true positives ± true negatives by the ECG criterion Total  #  of patients enrolled in the study  ×  1 00
