Diagnostic sensitivity of real-time PCR and microscopy assays compared with the reference standard test (UGS-positive results confirmed by real-time PCR and/or microscopy)
| Positive result n/n total (%) | Sensitivity (95% CI) | Kappa coefficient (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time PCR | 28/604 (4.6%) | 87.5% (70.01–95.92) | 0.93 (0.86–0.99) |
| Microscopy | 24/604 (4%) | 75% (56.25–87.87) | 0.85 (0.75–0.95) |
95% CI: 95% confidence interval; UGS: urogenital schistosomiasis
