Nat MedPublished

  • Diagnostic accuracy study
  • internal and external validation
  • proof-of-concept

Authors' conclusion

The screening and diagnostic models achieved high performance (area under the curve of 0.988 ± 0.3% and 0.991 ± 0.0%, respectively) in both internal and external datasets.
