Conditional diagnostic accuracy according to inflammation status and age for diagnosing tuberculous effusion
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous effusion varies from lymphocyte-dominant to neutrophilic effusion according to inflammation status. The criteria of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lymphocyte/neutrophil (L/N) ratio have yet not been evaluated across different disease conditions. METHODS: Patients who conducted...

description | BACKGROUND: Tuberculous effusion varies from lymphocyte-dominant to neutrophilic effusion according to inflammation status. The criteria of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lymphocyte/neutrophil (L/N) ratio have yet not been evaluated across different disease conditions. METHODS: Patients who conducted pleural fluid analysis from 2009 to 2019 at Asan Medical Center were included. Criteria (ADA of 50 and L/N ratio of 0.75) were evaluated by quantile subgroups according to age, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC), and lactate dehydrogenase (LD) by the Monte Carlo simulation method to diagnose tuberculosis. The model for the ADA and L/N ratio was evaluated by AUROC. RESULTS: Among the 2,918 reviewed cases, 2034 were included with 229 (11.26%) tuberculosis cases. The mean baseline ADA AUROC was 0.88 across all patients. Increased CRP and WBC showed high proportions of neutrophilic tuberculous effusion, with low sensitivity of approximately 45% and 33% in the fifth WBC and CRP groups, respectively. The AUROC of the models decreased with the increase in WBC and CRP groups (ADA model: 0.69 [the top quantile WBC group], 0.74 [the top quantile CRP group]). The AUROC of the models did not show a trend according to the increase in LD and age. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory status affects the diagnostic metrics for tuberculous effusion due to the progression of tuberculous effusion. Clinicians should consider the low accuracy of tuberculous effusion criteria in high-inflammatory conditions when diagnosing tuberculosis.
