Serum Galectin-3 as a Potential Predictive Biomarker Is Associated with Poststroke Cognitive Impairment

Figure 2

ROC curve for the accuracy of serum galectin-3 levels to diagnose PSCI at 3 months. The AUC of serum galectin-3 levels on PSCI at 3 months was 0.803 with the 95% CI 0.548–0.867. The sensitivity and specificity for serum galectin-3 levels on PSCI at 3 months were 66% and 94%, respectively. Abbreviations: ROC: receiver-operating characteristic; PSCI: poststroke cognitive impairment; AUC: area under the curve; CI: confidence interval.
