  • * Cutoff means binding ratios that have the maximal probability of correctly assigning patients and controls to their respective groups. All cutoff values are averages of 2 consecutively ordered, observed test values.

  • True-positive rate.

  • One minus the false-positive rate.

  • Abbreviations are as defined in Table 2.
