Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluating the accuracy of PSP and CRP to distinguish neonatal sepsis. A ROC curve identified that a PSP level (cutoff value) of 12.96 ng/mL has discriminative power between infected and uninfected neonates with 96.2% sensitivity and 88.5% specificity with area under curve of 0.87, while CRP level (cutoff value) of 6 mg/L has discriminative power with sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 65% with area under curve of 0.81.
