Table 5. AUC, cut-off points, sensitivity%, specificity%, LR, PPV, NPV, and accuracy rate for MMP-2, MMP-9, and TAC in EG compared to CG and in TGs compared to EG.
| MMP-2 (ng/ml) | MMP-9 (ng/ml) | TAC (Mm/l) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EG | TGs | EG | TGs | EG | TGs | |
| AUC | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Cut-off points | 15.9 | 64.97 | 23.70 | 71.44 | 1.06 | 0.78 |
| Sensitivity % | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Specificity % | 70% | 65% | 75% | 80% | 95% | 95% |
