| Abstract |
Tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) is one of the most common manifestations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. In patients aged ≥40 years, a closed needle pleural biopsy is recommended with an adenosine deaminase (ADA) level of 40-70 U/L. We aim to investigate whether the cut-off value of ADA and the cancer ratio in patients with TBPaged ≥40 years is different and determine the effects of both compounded biomarkers on diagnosing TBP. Between 2009 and 2016, ADA levels were measured in pleural effusions from patients who were admitted to the Chest disease clinic. Of the196 patients included in the study, 104 were aged ≥40 years. A significant relationship was found between the serumLDH/pleuralADA(sLDH/pADA) ratio and ADA levels in patients aged >40 years (OR: 0.935 and OR: 1.085, respectively). The model using an ADA value ≥30 and an sLDH/pADA ratio <16 yielded a sensitivity of 94.25% (95% CI, 87.1-98.10) in all patients and 69.23% (95% CI, 54.9-81.28) in patients aged >40 years. ADA and the sLDH/pADA ratio are simple, cost-efficient, and obtain fast resultsand, therefore, are the preferred methods in TBP diagnosis. The diagnosis rate in the present study was 91% using ADA levels in combination withthesLDH/pADA ratio, both of which can be obtained only through thoracentesis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 September 2020.
All research outputs
#22,771,990
of 25,387,668 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Respiratory Journal
#581
of 764 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#375,416
of 434,595 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Respiratory Journal
#16
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,387,668 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 764 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 434,595 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
