Table 4

Overview of the predictive quality of the original models.

Original modelsNumber of validation studies1Discriminatory accuracy: AUC range2 (reference)

Barlow model1 [27]Premenopausal: 0.63; postmenopausal: 0.62
Models assessing the prognostic quality in invasive and/or in situ breast cancer730.58 [39]–0.71 [40]
Models assessing the prognostic quality in invasive and/or in situ breast cancer without and with breast density5Without breast density: 0.54 [41]–0.65 [42, 43]; with breast density: 0.63 [41]–0.72 [44]
Models assessing the prognostic quality in invasive and/or in situ breast cancer without and with SNPs10Without SNPs: 0.53 [45]–0.79 [46]; SNPs enhanced: 0.60 [45]–0.69 [47]
Model assessing the prognostic quality in ER-positive, HER2-negative, invasive, and noninvasive cancers without and with SNPs1 [46]Premenopausal: 0.708 (without SNPs) 0.785 (SNPs enhanced); postmenopausal: 0.693 (without SNPs) 0.764 (SNPs enhanced)

AUC = area under the curve, ER = oestrogen receptor, NR = not reported, SNPs = single-nucleotide polymorphisms. 1Studies assessing the prognostic quality in different populations considering various risk factors. 2Ranges involve AUC values for varying risk factors. 3Two studies reported no AUC values.
