Table 3. Likelihood ratio for indeterminate results based on the combination of lymphocyte count and NLR in 2773 QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) tests.

Determinate Indeterminate Likelihood ratio
(n) (n) (95% CI)
NLR (≥5.18) and Lymphocyte (≤1050/μL) 324 80 2.81 (2.30–3.45)
NLR (≥5.18) and Lymphocyte (≥1051/μL) 233 52 2.54 (1.95–3.32)
NLR (≤5.17) and Lymphocyte (≤1050/μL) 265 20 0.86 (0.56–1.33)
NLR (≤5.17) and Lymphocyte (≥1051/μL) 1729 72 0.47 (0.39–0.58)

Positive and negative results of QFT-GIT are considered as “determinate”.
