p1-values show the significance of differentiating PD patients from controls calculated by SPSS. p2-values were calculated by MedCalc software. p2-values of (A) were calculated by comparing AUC between each score with TDI score in single models, p2-values of (B) were calculated by comparing AUC between each score with TDI score in integrated models. p < 0.05 were considered significant.

*

Single models were built upon each corresponding olfactory test, after adjustment of age and educational years.

**

Integrated models were built upon each corresponding olfactory test and MMSE, NMSS, after adjustment of age and educational years.

PPV, positive predictive values; NPV, negative predictive values; LR+, positive likelihood ratios; LR–, negative likelihood ratios; T, threshold; D, Discrimination; I, Identification.
