Performances of the trained models were evaluated using AUC, accuracy ([true positives + true negatives]/total predictions), precision (true positives/[true positives + false positives]), recall (true positives/[true positives + false negatives]), and F1 (2/[(1/precision) + (1/recall)]). AUC, area under the curve; LRE, liver-related events.
