Data are presented as percentage (No./total No.), unless otherwise indicated. FN = false-negative; FP = false-positive; HR = high-risk; IR = intermediate risk; LR = low risk; MR = moderate risk; RRM = risk reclassification model; TN = true-negative; TP = true-positive; VHR = very high risk.

Benefit to harm analysis performed by calculation of within strata of TN to FN ratio for LR and MR categories and TP to FP ratio for HR and VHR categories.

Cancer probability within strata estimated at 25% prevalence.
