Note. CTA = Classification Tree Analysis; PPV = positive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value; Positive screen = proportion of sample screened positive; Overall accuracy = proportion of sample correctly classified. The “and” rule specifies that all of the risk factors in the combination are present to screen positive; the “or” rule specifies that any of the risk factors in the combination are present to screen positive.
