Type I vs Type II discrimination
ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)
R — rupture / Type-I20
C — confounder / Type-II40
A — assay feasibility72
E — evidence strength16
T1DI (composite)5
Specificity differential (R−C)-20
Confounder panel (Type-II drivers)
No confounder evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
Assay & specimen
Class-level default (no specific cleared assay)— generic method inferred from analyte class; confirm against a specific product insert before use.
