Positive likelihood ratio | 31.51 | 24.18 to 41.07 | 46.93 | 41.51 to 53.05 | 137.10 | 111.20 to 169.04 |
Negative likelihood ratiob | 0.00 | – to – | 0.00 | – to – | <0.01 | 0.00 to 0.01 |
Prevalences differ from total population prevalence due to exclusion of participants.
No confidence interval can be calculated if sensitivity = 100%.
