Table 3.

Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of screening algorithms for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) outcomes among participants in the randomly selected subcohort (n = 2,415 for ESRD and n = 2,422 for ESLD).
