Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the LDH/ADA ratio in differentiating between TPE and PPE. An area-under-the-curve (AUC) value of 0.9663 was obtained using the pleural fluid LDH/ADA ratio as the indicator for TPE identification, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) were, respectively, 93.62%, 93.06%, 13.48, and 0.068 at a cut-off level of 16.20
