Table 2.

Predictive accuracy (area-under-the-curve) of the kallikrein models in recently screened men, with 95% C.I. The base model for the laboratory model includes age and total PSA, and for the clinical model includes age, total PSA, and DRE result. The full model includes the base model plus free PSA, intact PSA, and hK2.
