Sensitivity, R patients who were correctly identified by the hypermethylated profile; Specificity, NR patients who were correctly identified by the hypermethylated profile; Accuracy, R patients, correctly identified by the hypermethylated profile, and NR patients, correctly identified by the hypermethylated profile, divided by the total series; 95% CI, 95% confidence intervals.
