However, the visual assessment of RASP is inconsistent, and the quantitative assessment of RASP is time\u2010consuming.

We compared the discriminative abilities of three assessments of RASP to identify CA (visual, quantitative, and semiquantitative).

The discriminative ability of semiquantitative RASP (area under the curve [AUC]\u2009\u00a0=\u00a00.74) was significantly better than that of visual RASP (AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.65) and equivalent to that of binary quantitative RASP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Semiquantitative RASP assessment is reproducible and accurately discriminates CA.
