The optimal discriminating cut-off values were obtained by calculating the Youden index. The Odds Ratio with their confidence intervals 95% were calculated according to the cut-off values by Fisher's exact test.

AUOC: Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio.
