The performance of classifying wear and non-wear events for children versus adults
Method | CR (95% CI) | Sensitivity (95% CI) | Specificity (95% CI) | PPV (95% CI) | NPV (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Children (5–16 years) | |||||
The proposed CTA method | 0.96 (0.95 to 0.98) | 0.96 (0.93 to 0.99) | 0.94 (0.91 to 0.97) | 0.79 (0.70 to 0.89) | 0. 97 (0.93 to 1.00) |
The temperature alone | 0.73 (0.64 to 0.82) | 0.96 (0.93 to 0.99) | 0.64 (0.59 to 0.69) | 0.45 (0.24 to 0.67) | 0.97 (0.93 to 1.00) |
The acceleration alone | 0.79 (0.65 to 0.92) | 0.73 (0.55 to 0.92) | 0.89 (0.85 to 0.94) | 0.69 (0.60 to 0.79) | 0.75 (0.55 to 0.95) |
Adults (≥17 years) | |||||
The proposed CTA method | 0.93 (0.88 to 0.98) | 0.90 (0.82 to 0.99) | 0.88 (0.82 to 0.94) | 0.86 (0.78 to 0.93) | 0.92 (0.78 to 1.00) |

CR, classification rate; CTA, combining temperature and acceleration; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value.
