Model predicts disease from human gut microbe profiles
On excluded cohorts, disease-discrimination scores reached 0.838 for colorectal cancer, 0.736 for type 2 diabetes and 0.722 for inflammatory bowel disease.On excluded cohorts, disease-discrimination scores reached 0.838 for colorectal cancer, 0.736 for type 2 diabetes and 0.722 for inflammatory bowel disease.

Who was studiedHuman gut microbiome profiles
What changedThe model distinguished colorectal cancer from gut microbe profiles with an AUROC of 0.838 in previously excluded cohorts
The catchReported AUROCs omit sensitivity and specificity at a diagnostic threshold
