Table 4.

Sensitivity and specificity for PMN-% vs PMN-C in assessing death and SBP development among those with PMN < 250 cells/mm³ at first paracentesis

	Death			SBP development
	PMN-% ≥ 30%	PMN-C ≥ 115 cells/mm³	P	PMN-% ≥ 30%	PMN-C ≥ 115 cells/mm³	P
Sensitivity	20.8 (13.4–30.0)	9.9 (4.8–17.5)	0.002	23.0 (13.4–32.6)	10.8 (3.7–17.9)	0.001
Specificity	88.3 (84.0–91.8)	95.0 (91.8–97.3)	<0.001	88.1 (84.5–91.7)	94.8 (92.4–97.3)	<0.001

PMN, polymorphonuclear leukocyte; PMN-%, PMN percentage; PMN-C, PMN count; SBP, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
