  1. AUROC Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristics curve, PPV Positive Predictive Value, NPV Negative Predictive Value. AUROC interpretation: poor (0.5–0.6), sufficient (0.6–0.7), good (0.7–0.8), very good (0.8–0.9) and excellent discrimination (0.9–1.0). Youden’s index ranges from 0 (no discrimination) to 1 (perfect discrimination)
