Marginal discrimination of each of the four kallikrein markers
| Age and kallikreins | Age, kallikreins, and DRE | |
|---|---|---|
| High-grade cancer | ||
| Full model | 0.777 (0.736–0.819) | 0.784 (0.742–0.826) |

| Without free PSA | 0.612 (0.562–0.662) | 0.628 (0.578–0.679) |
| Without intact PSA | 0.740 (0.695–0.785) | 0.759 (0.716–0.803) |
| Without hK2 | 0.770 (0.728–0.811) | 0.782 (0.741–0.823) |
| Without intact PSA nor hK2 |
0.704 (0.656–0.752) | 0.732 (0.686–0.778) |
| Any-grade cancer | ||
| Full model | 0.683 (0.644–0.722) | 0.690 (0.652–0.729) |
| Without total PSA | 0.572 (0.529–0.614) | 0.608 (0.567–0.650) |
| Without free PSA | 0.638 (0.597–0.679) | 0.647 (0.607–0.688) |

| Without intact PSA nor hK2 |
0.648 (0.607–0.688) | 0.664 (0.624–0.704) |
DRE = digital rectal examination; hK2 = human kallikrein-related peptidase 2; PSA = prostate-specific antigen.
Data are shown as area under the curve (95% confidence interval).
