From: The ratio of Th17/Treg cells as a risk indicator in early acute respiratory distress syndrome
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the Th17/Treg ratio, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and lung injury scores, arterial partial pressure of oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2), and Th17/Treg ratio in combination with APACHE II score for predicting 28-day mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The area under the curve (AUC) demonstrates that the Th17/Treg ratio measures 0.824 (95% CI 0.722 to 0.901), the APACHE II score measures 0.791 (95% CI 0.684 to 0.874), the SOFA score measures 0.749 (95% CI 0.639 to 0.840), the lung injury score measures 0.704 (95% CI 0.590 to 0.801), PaO2/FiO2 measures 0.639 (95% CI 0.523 to 0.744) and the Th17/Treg ratio in combination with the APACHE II score measures 0.872 (95% CI 0.790 to 0.954).
