^aP < 0.05 vs other groups. True positive (TP) = 87; False positive (FP) = 24 (5 + 8 + 0 + 3 + 8); False negative (FN) = 15; True negative (TN) = 150 (40 + 16 + 35 + 17 + 42); Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN) × 100%; Specificity = TN/(TN + FP) × 100%; Diagnostic accuracy = (TP + TN)/(TP + TN + FP + FN) × 100%.
