Δ indicates the difference in ROC‐AUC between the basic model and the model with the addition of kynurenine pathway metabolites; 3‐HAA indicates 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid; cfNRI, category‐free net reclassification index; KYN, kynurenine; KYNA, kynurenic acid; ROC‐AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; TRP, tryptophan.
