Table 3.
Measures of test performance for BC, ST, and IHP against a constructed gold standard. PPV = positive predictive value, NPV = negative predictive value, ST = SepsiTest, IHP = in-house PCR, and BC = blood cultures.
| Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ST | 52.6 | 100 | 100 | 30.8 |
| IHP | 15.8 | 100 | 100 | 20 |
| BC | 15.8 | 100 | 100 | 20 |
