Table 4 ROC analysis of commonly used TB parameters between CLD infants and healthy controls. If the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of the area under the normalized ROC curve (AUC) include the 0.5 value (no discrimination) than there is no evidence that the TB parameters has the ability to distinguish between the two groups
