Table 4.

Performance of the predictive model evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy using the 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles as thresholds in the 2 validation cohorts.
