    Illustration of ROI delineation in WM in children with prenatal MMC repair on a color-coded FA map. Arrows denote areas of the gCC, L PLIC, and R PLIC. L PLIC indicates left posterior limb of the internal capsule; R PLIC, right posterior limb of the internal capsule.

    A, Comparison of the predicted probability using the CDSI model based on stepwise logistic regression (solid circles) and using a logistic regression model with a single predictor (the MOMS Index, in empty circles). The data are plotted in ascending order of the predicted probability using the CDSI model, which had 3 false-negative (red solid circles) and 2 false-positive cases (blue solid circles). The single-predictor logistic regression model using the MOMS Index yielded 5 false-negative (red empty circles) and 3 false-positive cases (blue empty circles). B, The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrating sensitivity and specificity based on the CDSI approach for predicting the need for CSF diversion surgery. AUC indicates area under the curve; ID, identification.
