  1. • a95 % asymptotic confidence intervals
  2. • Sensitivity: number of participants classified at risk both by the PA and the postoperative WOMAC score and joint perception divided by all participants classified at risk by the postoperative WOMAC score and the joint perception (actual outcome)
  3. • Specificity: number of participants classified not at risk by the PA and the postoperative WOMAC score and joint perception divided by all participants classified not at risk by the postoperative WOMAC score and joint perception (actual outcome)
  4. • Positive predictive value: number of participants classified at risk by the PA and the post-operative WOMAC score and joint perception divided by all participants classified at risk by the PA (predicted outcome)
  5. • Negative predictive value: number of participants classified not at risk by the PA and the postoperative WOMAC score and joint perception divided by all participants classified not at risk by the PA (predicted outcome)
  6. • Positive likelihood ratio: sensitivity/ (1-specificity)
  7. • Negative likelihood ratio: (1-sensitivity)/specificity
