The positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively). Table with ROC‐AUC (area under the curve with 95% CI), sensitivity (at 90% specificity) with 95% CI, and statistical significance for different metabolites measured at pretreatment in the discovery and hospital presentation in the validation cohort. P‐value represents significance level are also presented for each metabolite/biomarker.
