Comparison of AUC areas for the prognostic factors in ESCC.
| AUC | 95% CI | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPR | 0.728 | 0.678-0.774 | Reference |
| CAR | 0.702 | 0.651-0.750 | 0.0015 |
| CRP | 0.702 | 0.651-0.750 | 0.0008 |
| ALB | 0.573 | 0.519-0.625 | 0.0001 |
| PALB | 0.686 | 0.635-0.735 | 0.2161 |
ESCC: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; CRP: C-reactive protein; PALB: prealbumin; ALB: albumin; CPR: C-reactive protein to prealbumin ratio; CAR: C-reactive protein to albumin ratio; AUC: area under the curve.
