Correlation between serum markers and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt prognosis in patients with cirrhotic ascites

Table 4 Receiver operating characteristic analysis for single risk factors predicting the post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt prognosis of patients with refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis

Risk factor	ROC curve			Optimal cutoff value	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
	AUC	95%CI	P value
Cys C	0.883	0.803-0.963	0.000	1.95 mg/L	83.33 (25/30)	82.22 (37/45)
Child-Pugh scores	0.919	0.856-0.981	0.000	11.50 points	90.00 (27/30)	84.44 (38/45)
MELD scores	0.934	0.879-0.988	0.000	13.50 points	86.67 (26/30)	82.22 (37/45)

ROC: Receiver operating characteristic; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; Cys C: Cystatin C; AUC: Area under the curve.
