Relationship between C-reactive protein/albumin ratio and mucocutaneous symptom frequency and disease severity in Behçet’s disease

Abstract

. According to the ROC analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) of CRP level and CAR were found to be 0.784 (95%CI: 0.710–0.859), and 0.786 (95%CI: 0.712–0.861), respectively. The cut-off value for CRP was determined as 1.485, whereas for CAR it was 0.324. As the severity of Behçet’s disease increased, there was a statistically significant increase in the CAR level (p < 0.001). The severity of Behçet’s disease was statistically significantly associated with a high CAR level. Conclusion: CAR can be used as a quick and easily calculated parameter to assess the severity of Behçet’s disease.
