  • Bias results are from multiple regression analysis. FP and FN likelihood results are from binary logistic regression analysis. Significant p values are shown in bold. 95% CIs are shown in parentheses after coefficient and OR values.

  • FSP, Fitzpatrick Skin Pigmentation; PAD, peripheral arterial disease; spO2, oxygen saturation.
