a: cutoff, sensitivity and specificity data were determined based on the analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves; b: the values of sensitivity and specificity were determined according to the point of the ROC curve nearest to the point of sensitivity and specificity equal to 100%; c: +LR and -LR = positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR).
