Table 1.
Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) of cytokines that discriminated best between C. acnes “low” and “high” MC1 groups. Area under the curve (AUC) calculated by simple logistic regression for individual cytokines (top three rows) and by logistic regression model (bottom row) of cytokine combination. CI: Confidence interval.
| Cytokine | AUC | 95 % CI | Sensitivity | 95 % CI | Specificity | 95 % CI | P-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IFN-y | 0.83 | (0.64, 1.00) | 100 % | (70, 100) | 70 % | (40,89) | 0.01 |
| IL-12p70 | 0.79 | (0.57, 1.00) | 89 % | (57,99) | 80 % | (49, 96) | 0.03 |
| IL-13 | 0.89 | (0.72, 1.00) | 100 % | (70, 100) | 80 % | (49, 96) | 0.00 |
| IFN-y + IL-12p70 + IL-13 | 0.92 | (0.79, 1.00) | 89 % | (68, 100) | 80 % | (55, 100) | 0.00 |
