a

as defined by positive results from at least two of SVS, FVU or PES specimens;

b

indeterminate results fell into true positive category, percentage = number of indeterminate results/(number of indeterminate results + TP + FN);

c

indeterminate results fell into true negative category, percentage = number of indeterminate results/(number of indeterminate results + TN + FP). Indeterminate results were included in the calculation of sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV.
