Diagnostic efficiency of NLR, PLR, and Hb/RDW in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and healthy controls.
Indicators | Younder index | Sensitivity | Specificity | AUC | 95% CI |
NLR | 0.3975 | 60.56 | 79.19 | 0.734 | 0.683–0.781 |
PLR | 0.5016 | 58.89 | 89.28 | 0.809 | 0.763–0.850 |
Hb/RDW | 0.5190 | 66.67 | 85.23 | 0.781 | 0.732–0.824 |
NLR+Hb/RDW | 0.5704 | 67.78 | 89.26 | 0.824 | 0.779–0.864 |
PLR+Hb/RDW | 0.6338 | 72.78 | 90.60 | 0.851 | 0.808–0.888 |
AUC = area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval, Hb/RDW = hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio, NLR = neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, PLR = platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio.
