  • Data are presented for the single data set used for model selection. Numbers in brackets represent the 95% CIs.

  • *The ‘optimal’ threshold according to Youden’s J statistic.

  • LR+, positive likelihood ratio; LR−, negative likelihood ratio; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value;
