The data were analysed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The optimal cut-off values were determined based on the highest Youden index. The Combined Model was created using binary logistic regression probabilities, including Age, GPR, and WBC variables. p-values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant
