- A P-value of less than 0.05 indicates statistical significance. PTB: pulmonary tuberculosis; N: number of subjects; A/G: Albumin/ Globulin; CRP: C-reactive protein; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase; HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; APOA1: apolipoprotein A1; APOB: apolipoprotein B; *
P < 0.05; **
P < 0.01. a
P value between TB patients and normal reference range, for one-sample t-test after taking the logarithm then compare to the median.
