Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves for Symptom Duration and C-reactive Protein (CRP) Levels. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for symptom duration was 0.74 (p < 0.01), with an optimal cutoff value of 35 h, a sensitivity of 67.24%, and a specificity of 71.43%. The AUC for CRP was 0.69 (p < 0.05), with an optimal cutoff value of 34.5 mg/L, a sensitivity of 68.97%, and a specificity of 64.29%.
