Receiver operating characteristic curve of serum mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor levels for predicting early neurologic deterioration after acute supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. Serum mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor levels significantly distinguished early neurologic deterioration following acute intracerebral hemorrhage and using Youden method, an optimal value was selected, which predicted such an adverse affair with medium-high sensitivity and specificity values (P<0.001). AUC means area under curve; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval
