From the above results by the above results by the other workers
it is found that results obtained in the present study are comparable. The
misclassification rate is higher in the present study.
From the results found by other workers they are quite similar
but the misclassification rate in the present study is 12.5%.
Pleural Fluid LDH of 200 U/L & P/S LDH of.6 in Differential
Diagnosis of Pleural Effusion:
From the results obtained by the above workers, they are quite
similar to the present study. Misclassification rate obtained in the present
study is 5%.
revealed that even though the parameter of pleural fluid protein of 3 gm/dl,
pleural fluid to serum protein ratio of.5, pleural fluid LDH level of 200 U/L &
pleural fluid LDH to Serum LDH ratio of.6 are useful in differentiating the
exudates & transudates. The greater differential value is found with the SEAG
value of 1.2 gm/dl which correctly classified 96.15% of exudates & 93.6% of
transudates with a total misclassification of only 5% & with a sensitivity &
specificity of 96.1% & 93%.
