Table 5 Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and Homocysteine levels for the diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with thalamic infarction

Variable	The critical value	AUC	Sensitivity	Specificity	95%CI	About an index
Hcy (μmol/L)	22.540	0.709	0.724	0.630	0.599-0.816	0.354
Non-HDL-C (tendency/L)	1.351	0.738	0.701	0.870	0.618-0.859	0.571
Hcy in combination with non-HDL-C	-	0.769	0.758	0.889	0.721-0.895	0.647

AUC: areas under the curve; Non-HDL-C: Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Hcy: Homocysteine.
