a Accuracy is the fraction of correctly classified patients and overall classified patients.

b Recall is the fraction of correctly classified good outcome patients and the overall predicted good outcome patients.

c Precision is the fraction of correctly classified good outcome patients and the predicted good outcome patients.

d Specificity is the fraction of correctly classified poor outcome patients and the overall poor outcome patients.

e NPV(negative predictive value) is the fraction of correctly classified poor outcome patients and the overall predicted poor outcome patients.

f Machine learning algorithms utilized for comparison.
