Table 5 Predictive value of risk factors for mortality in children with acute paraquat poisoning (n = 113)

Predictive factors	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)	AUROC (95%CI)	Youden index	P value
ALT	59.26	96.51	0.814 (0.730-0.881)	0.557	< 0.001
PCIS	92.30	82.21	0.905 (0.836-0.952)	0.774	< 0.001
ALT and PCIS	92.59	87.21	0.937 (0.875-0.974)	0.798	< 0.001

ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; PCIS: Pediatric critical illness score; AUROC: Area under the receiver operating characteristic; CI: Confidence interval.
