Table 2

Performance of variables in predicting unfavorable outcome.

Variables	AUC ROC	value	Cutoff value	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
APACHE II score	0.828 ± 0.026	0.000	≥16.5	76.3	70.8
Neutrophil	0.633 ± 0.036	0.000	≥14.2	73.8	45.8
Lymphocyte	0.650 ± 0.035	0.000	≤0.64	75.0	58.1
NLR	0.695 ± 0.036	0.000	≥23.8	81.3	53.6

AUC ROC: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; APACHE II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; and NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
