  1. Results are presented for both analysis, in the second column for training set A and testing set B, in the third column with training set B and testing set A. In the fourth column, the total/mean value of the two results was calculated. Group A was composed of 37 cases, group B was composed of 31 cases.
  2. *Area under the curve (AUC) average value between 0.93 (AUC A/B) and 0.95 (AUC B/A)
