Figure 1 The AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of age in predicting the occurrence of PHN were 0.623, 54.0%, and 75.3%, respectively. The AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of CD4+/CD8+ ratios in predicting the occurrence of PHN were 0.578, 47.9%, and 80.2%, respectively. When the combined use of age and CD4+/CD8+ ratios, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.663, 61.2%, and 77.9%, respectively, in predicting the occurrence of PHN.
