The combination of decoy receptor 3 and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 for the diagnosis of nosocomial bacterial meningitis

Table 4 Diagnostic performance of DcR3, sTREM-1 and other CSF markers for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis

Variable	Area under ROC Curve	Sensitivity (%)	Speificity (%)
DcR3	0.831	78.75	81.40
sTREM-1	0.756	60.00	88.37
Leucocyte Count	0.928	88.75	90.70
Glucose	0.696	65.00	67.44
Protein	0.664	43.75	86.05
Lactate	0.717	62.50	74.42

The performance of DcR3 and other CSF markers has been published previously [13]. In order to compare the diagnostic performance of the two biomarker with that of other CSF markers, the data of DcR3 and CSF markers are presented here. ROC: receiver operating characteristic.
