Note. All data in the table are expressed in percent except those marked with an asterisk (). PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; LR, likelihood ratio; AUC, area under curve; CUI, clinical utility index. AUC with the same alphabet notations showed a not significant difference (). Benchmark of CUI according to Mitchell [19]: excellent utility (≥0.81), good utility (≥0.64), fair utility (≥0.49), poor utility (<0.49), and very poor utility (<0.36).
