Table 2.

Bivariate elevation of both CXCL13 and IL-10

Biomarker Sensitivity Specificity AUC CI
CXCL13 71% 95% 0.841 0.779-0.892
IL-10 64% 94.1% 0.851 0.789-0.901
CXCL13 or IL-10 84.2% 90.5% 0.874 0.815-0.919
CXCL13 plus IL-10 50% 99.3% 0.746 0.675-0.809
Cytology 14% Reference standard Reference standard Reference standard
Flow cytometry 20% Reference standard Reference standard Reference standard

Bivariate elevation of both CXCL13 and IL-10 is more than twice as sensitive as cytology (P < .001) and flow cytometry (P < .05), with equivalent specificity, in the detection of non-HIV–associated PCNSL at diagnosis (Fisher’s exact test [2-tailed]). An algorithm based on detection of elevation of either CXCL13 or IL-10 in CSF is more than 3 times as sensitive compared with the reference standard tests (P < .0001).
