There is a lack of validity using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) code L90.0 to identify women with vulvar lichen sclerosus overall, with less accuracy in Black women.

101
A ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) plot is a graphical tool used to assess the performance of a binary classification model by illustrating the trade-off between sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (false positive rate). By plotting sensitivity against 1 - specificity across various threshold settings, the ROC curve shows how well the model distinguishes between classes, with a curve closer to the top-left corner indicating a more accurate model. The area under the ROC curve...
