elas: Leukocyte Elastase Data

In OptimalCutpoints: Computing Optimal Cutpoints in Diagnostic Tests

Description

The elas data set was obtained from the Cardiology Department at the Galicia General Hospital (Santiago de Compostela, Spain). This study was conducted to assess the clinical usefulness of leukocyte elastase determination in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Usage

data(elas)

Format

A data frame with 141 observations on the following 3 variables.

elas

leukocyte elastase. Numerical vector

status

true disease status (presence/absence of coronary artery disease). Numerical vector (0=absence, 1=presence)

gender

patient's gender. Factor with Male and Female levels
