  1. Data were not corrected for multiple testing
  2. For comparing the values we used a bootstrapping algorithm as implemented in pROC packages (Version 1.8)
  3. All predictor combinations were statistically superior to single predictors, but none of the best three- and four-parameter combination was statistically superior to the two-predictor combination
