Table 1.

Statistical measures summarizing and comparing models A and B. The two risk categories, high and low risk are defined as risk above or below 20%. The four risk categories are defined by risk thresholds at 5%, 10% and 20%. Overall, 10% of subjects in the population have an event. Reclassification percent and net reclassification index compare each of models A and B with no model.
