  1. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of the model was generated using gender, psychiatric behaviour disorders, and serum TRUST for neurosyphilis diagnosis. Diagnose-odds ratio (OR), positive predictive value (pv), and negative pv are calculated. *Area under the curve (AUC), confidence interval (CI), and significance test adopted 500-time bootstrap resampling
