AUC指標

In DDJ, AUC usually appears in screening or diagnostic pieces, for example on caries or oral mucosal diagnostics.

DDJでの書き方

On first use: area under the curve (AUC). After that, use AUC or AUC value.

避けたい書き方

  • Do not present it as a self-explanatory quality score without diagnostic context.
  • Do not rely on AUC alone when sensitivity, specificity, or clinical thresholds matter.
