^aCART analysis (CART 6.0; Salford Systems, CA) was performed with the following methodological conditions: Gini method, minimum cost tree regardless of the size for selecting the best tree, 10 v-fold-cross-validation, equal priors, no costs, and no penalties.

^bA relative error of 0 means no error, or a perfect fit, and 1 represents the performance of random guessing.

^cA ROC curve area of 1 means a perfect prediction (100% sensitivity and 0% false positives), and 0.5 represents a random guess.
