ROC curve distribution of galectin-3 for PHN.

Variable	AUC	S.E.	95% CI		P
			Lower limit	Upper limit
Galectin-3	0.934	0.036	0.857	1.000	<0.001

ROC, receiver operating characteristic; PHN, postherpetic neuralgia; CI, confidence interval; P, p value; AUC, area under curve. ^∗p value of below 0.05 was considered the cut-off point of statistical significance.
