Bolded text indicates highest effect sizes of mean differences in performance measures in comparison to using kernels input with only tabular clinical data.

AUC: area under the curve; SD: standard deviation; CI: confidence interval; IDP: image-derived phenotypes; MRI: cropped MRIs at the lateral ventricles.
