Table 3. Comparison of NAAT test with rapid diagnostic test.

RDT
NAAT Positive Negative Total
Positive 0 1 1
Negative 71 712 783
Total 71 713 784
Cohen’s Kappa = −0.0025
Kendall’s Tau B = −0.0113

Cohen’s Kappa, which tests the agreement between two tests is negative, showing no agreement. Kendall’s Tau B is also negative, showing very slight negative association (inversion) between the two tests. The association here is very limited.

The prevalence detected using the NAAT (considered the gold standard for this study) was 0.1% (95% CI: 0–0.38%).
