Table 3 Outcomes of binary logistic regression models of 20 different 3-biomarker combinations showing the odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding p-values of each biomarker when the others in the combination are controlled. A comparison of the area under the curve (AUC) and the corresponding p-values generated from the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves for each of the 4 statistically significant 3-biomarker combinations is also shown. The OR here signifies the odds of belonging to the ‘primary lung tumour’ group of the ‘tumour origin’ outcome
