Table 3. Performance of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, positive and negative likelihood ratios and kappa for each symptom separately and the use of just one question for stroke confirmation.
| Symptom | Limb weakness | Facial Weakness | Articulation problems | Sensorydisorders | Impaired vision | At least 1 question addressing stroke symptoms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity ((%) | 57.9 | 26.3 | 26.3 | 31.6 | 26.3 | 57.8 |
| Specificity (%) | 88.2 | 94.1 | 100.0 | 88.2 | 82.3 | 100 |
| Positive predictive value (%) | 84.6 | 83.3 | 100.0 | 75 | 62.5 | 100 |
| Negative predictive value (%) | 65.2 | 53.3 | 45.2 | 53.6 | 50.0 | 68.0 |
| Positive likelihood ratio | 4.9 | 4.5 | +∞ | 2.7 | 1.5 | +∞ |
| Negative likelihood ratio | 0.48 | 0.78 | 0.74 | 0.76 | 0.90 | 0.58 |
| Kappa | 0.45 | 0.20 | 0.25 | 0.19 | 0.08 | 0.57 |
Kappa = coefficient of concordance beyond chance.
