  1. Influence factors where further management was recommended despite a bening clinical skin lesion. Reference value is indicated with * (Naevi: *0 = less than 100 Naevi, 1 = more than 100 Naevi; Family history of skin cancer *0 = no, 1 = positive family history; skin phototype according to phototype 1 as reference; age in years). Participants with clinical malignant diagnosis or missing data were excluded from the analysis. 4062 entries were included in this model; R2 of this model was 0.0493.
