  1. ROC receiver operating curve, AUC area under the curve, SE standard error, 95% CI 95% confidence intervals
  2. aThe prognostic ability was evaluated by AUC. The AUC values range from 50 to 100%. The larger the AUC values, the more accurate the markers
  3. bROC curve analysis between AUC of indicated parameter and AUC = 50% (no prognostic value)
  4. cIncreased prognostic values = AUC of combined markers—AUC of corresponding individual markers (without combination of ZAK)
