Results are no. of specimens unless otherwise indicated. TP, true positive; TN, true negative; FP, false positive; FN, false negative; PPA, positive percent agreement; NPA, negative percent agreement.
Discordant analysis was performed with validated PCR/bidirectional sequencing and/or alternative NAAT and repeat testing with BioCode RPP depending on the availability of residual specimens.
