(A) Age NLR quartile Q1;≤1.7 Q2;1.71–2.84 Q3;2.85–5.17 Q4;≥5.18. The red lines indicate the median and 95% confidence interval. (B) Nil response according to NLR quartile group in QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) assay. Nil response indicates the concentration of interferon-γ in plasma from unstimulated blood. (C) Mitogen response according to NLR quartile group in QFT-GIT assay. Mitogen response is calculated interferon-γ in plasma from phytohemagglutinin stimulated minus nil.
