Table 1. Estimation of sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and likelihood ratios by Rapid-Heat LAMPellet method against standard parasitological test (microscopy) for current study for identifying Schistosoma haematobium infection in patients´ urine samples.
| Diagnostic test | Sensitivity (95% CI) | Specificity (95% CI) | PPV (95% CI) | NPV (95% CI) |
| Rapid-Heat LAMPellet | 100% (81.32%-100%) | 86.67% (75.40%-94.05%) | 63.23% (48.21%-85.63%) | 100% (93.08%-100%) |
| Microscopy | 69.23% (48.21%-85.63%) | 100% (93.08%-100%) | 100% (81.32%-100%) | 86.67% (75.40%-94.05%) |
PPV, Positive Predictive Value
NPV, Negative Predictive Value
