The combined MPO/D-dimer score (median 1.26 [AAA] vs. −0.19 [PAD] vs. −0.93 [healthy]) showed an improved performance in distinguishing AAA from PAD when analysed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve) for AAA against the pooled data of healthy controls + PAD: 0.728 [MPO], 0.749 [D-dimer], 0.801 [score]. Here, MPO is linked to triple-A syndrome.
