Table 8.

Consistency between HDSS and LQAS method using the scheme in Table 7 to classify 57 work-areas

LQAS HDSS Adequate Inadequate Predictability of LQAS (%)
DPT Adequate 55 2 Sensitivity=100.0
LQAS (n=28) Inadequate 0 0 Specificity=0.0
Measles Adequate 53 1 Sensitivity=94.6
LQAS (n=28) Inadequate 3 0 Specificity=0.0
BCG Adequate 57 0 Sensitivity=100.0
LQAS (n=28) Inadequate 0 0 Specificity=Indeterminate
CPR Adequate 54 0 Sensitivity=94.7
LQAS (n=28) Inadequate 3 0 Specificity=Indeterminate

CPR=Contraceptive prevalence rate;

HDSS=Health and demographic surveillance system;

LQAS=Lot quality assurance sampling
