Table 5 Discriminative capability of tumor markers and adenosine deaminase between tuberculosis peritonitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis using receiver operating characteristics curve

	AUC	95% CI	P value
Serum CRP	0.705	0.537-0.872	0.033
Serum CEA	0.721	0.562-0.880	0.017
Serum CA 19-9	0.693	0.527-0.860	0.044
Ascites ADA	0.966	0.916-1.000	< 0.001
Ascites CEA	0.823	0.686-0.960	0.002

ADA: Adenosine deaminase; CI: Confidence interval; CRP: C-reactive protein; CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigen; CA 19-9: Carbohydrate antigen 19-9; AUC: Area under the curve.
