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”.
