Clinical significance and prognostic value of tumor necrosis factor-α and dickkopf related protein-1 in ankylosing spondylitis

Figure 4 Predictive value of dickkopf-related protein-1 and tumor necrosis factor-α in the curative effect in ankylosing spondylitis. The area under the curve, cutoff value, sensitivity and specificity of dickkopf-related protein-1 for predicting the curative effect before treatment were 0.825, 68.42 pg/mL, 73.68% and 80.00% respectively, and those of tumor necrosis factor-α were 0.863, 32.79 ng/L, 92.11% and 77.33%, respectively. TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-α; DKK: Dickkopf-related protein-1.
