(Table 3 and Fig. 2) Hypoalbuminemia, upper quartile CRP, and detectable LPS improved TB risk discrimination the most, albeit minimally, among all biomarkers when added to this model (AUC with hypoalbuminemia 0.84, 95% CI: 0.79–0.89; AUC with CRP 0.85, 95%: CI 0.79–0.90, AUC with detectable LPS 0.84, 95% CI: 0.79–0.89). Here, CRP is linked to tuberculosis.
