When compared to the combined “non-AAA” group, i.e., healthy + PAD, the score outperformed the separate variables for both AAA1 and AAA2: area under the ROC curve (AUROC) 0.801 (score) vs. 0.728 (MPO) or 0.749 (D-dimer) for AAA1 vs. non-AAA (Figure 2A); AUROC 0.736 (score) vs. 0.686 (MPO) or 0.709 (D-dimer) for AAA2 vs. non-AAA (Figure 2B). The gene discussed is MPO; the disease is peripheral arterial disease.
