Sensitivity & Specificity (Describe)

The overall accuracy of SURE was 90.1% (95% CI 87.8–92.4), so that 9 patients out of 10 were correctly screened as presenting clinically significant decisional conflict or not. Sensitivity and specificity of SURE ≤3 were 94.1% (95% CI 78.9-99.0) and 89.8% (95% CI 87.1-92.0), respectively.
