2. Fig 1
Test result for two imaginary patient populations with SIRS. The cut-off value is the test result above which patients are classified as having SIRS. In (a) the cut-off value is set fairly low (high sensitivity but low specificity), resulting in a low number of false negatives, but a large number of false positives. If the cut off value is increased (b), the sensitivity is decreased and the specificity is increased, so the number of false positives decreases but the frequency of false negatives increases, and the number of true positives decreases.
