5 Ranking information: All successfully processed slides having an action of Review or QC
Review receive a group (or quintile) ranking, an individual ranking based on their scoring
position within the print set, and their individual rank expressed as a percentage.
For the group ranking, slides are assigned to a numerical quintile between 1 and 5. Within
the print set, the 1st quintile contains the 20% of slides most likely to contain abnormalities,
the 2nd quintile contains the 20% of slides next most likely to contain abnormalities, and so
on, with the 5th quintile containing the 20% of the slides least likely to contain abnormalities.
Each slide receives an individual rank from 1 to n, where a rank of 1 indicates a slide most
likely to contain abnormality and n is the slide least likely to contain abnormality (n is the
number of Review slides in a print set, minus the scant cellularity slides).
For example, the first slide listed on this sample report received an individual rank of 27/41,
or 27 out of 41. For more information on ranking see Section 10.4.1.
The percentage value is the individual rank expressed as a percentage of n.
