  1. For each variable, the performances are estimated on 100 randomly sampled patients with a prevalence of 50% regarding the feature of interest
  2. All measurements are given with 95% confidence interval
  3. Abbreviations: AUROC area under the ROC curve, GGO ground glass opacity, NPV negative predicted value, PPV positive predicted value
