Overview

Retrospective study reports CRP/albumin-globulin ratio effectively differentiates PPE types, highlighting MLR's role in distinguishing CPPE from uCPPE.

Key Points

  • CAGR shows the highest accuracy for diagnosing parapneumonic effusions with an AUC of 0.866.
  • MLR distinguishes complicated from uncomplicated parapneumonic effusion with an AUC of 0.707.
  • Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis determined optimal cut-offs for inflammatory markers.
  • The findings suggest combining biomarkers for improved diagnostic specificity in pleural effusion types.
