Fifteeen biomarkers in five for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. All values reported at 95% confidence interval unless otherwise stated.

ROC, receiver operating curve; No Obs, number of observations; AUC, area under receiver operating curve (ideally >0.6); SENS, sensitivity; SPEC, specificity; pre-adjusted odds ratio + prior to division by 3, P value for odds ratio at 95% confidence interval; % RR-Ho, percentage risk ratio for null hypothesis (ideally <0.10), HPL, urinary hydroxyhemopyrroline-2-one.
