No significant modifying effect of age on adenosine deaminase diagnostic performance for tuberculous pleural effusion: a retrospective observational study

2026-05-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (pADA) is a core biomarker for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), which is considered to be negatively correlated with age. However, its age-related diagnostic performance in differentiating TPE from malignant pleural effusion (MPE) remains unclear. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 288 patients (TPE = 187, MPE = 101) who were...
