Discriminative capacity of granuloma size for detecting CVID granulomas
| Comparison | Area | cut off size granuloma (µm) | Sensitivity% (95% CI) | Specificity% (95% CI) | LR CVID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVID vs. Sarc | 0.814 | < 191 | 60 (42.3–75.4%) | 96.7 (83.3–99.8%) | 18 |
| CVID vs. PS | 0.842 | < 178 | 56.7 (39.2–72.6%) | 96.7 (83.3–99.8%) | 17 |
| CVID vs. TB | 0.884 | < 152 | 46.7 (30.2–63.9%) | 96.7 (83.3–99.8%) | 14 |
CVID = Common Variable Immunodeficiency; PS = pseudo sarcoidosis; TB = tuberculosis. CI = confidence interval. LR CVID = likelihood ratio of being CVID with the cut off size granuloma, sensitivity, specificity and LR derived from ROC analysis
