  1. *AUC or accuracy is significantly different from the LASSO at the level of p < 0.05.
  2. †The LASSO and LR-BS models were trained in scenario 3.
  3. AUC Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, CI Confidence interval, FPG Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c Glycated hemoglobin, LASSO Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, LR-BS Logistic regression with backward stepwise selection, NPV Negative predictive value, PPV Positive predictive value.
