A scoring model based on the pleural effusion adenosine deaminase-to-serum C-reactive protein ratio for differentiating tuberculous pleural effusion from non-tuberculous benign pleural effusion
The pADA/sCRP ratio exhibited improved diagnostic performance compared to pADA alone. The novel scoring system based on a nomogram demonstrated good diagnostic efficacy in differentiating TPE from non-TB BPE.
