The AUC for CRP was 0.653 on POD 2, 0.716 on POD 4, and 0.845 on POD 6, while the AUC for WBC was 0.561 on POD 2, 0.687 on POD 4, and 0.701 on POD 6. A CRP cutoff of 125 mg/L on POD 4 had a sensitivity of 0.818 and a negative predictive value of 0.958 for detecting AL. Here, CRP is linked to axial length measurement.
