TABLE 1:
The relationship between the relative importance given to parasites and to drug failures in practice reported as a proportion of responders
| Importance of drug failure |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | Anecdotal | Moderate | High | Cumulative sum | |
| Importance of parasites | |||||
| High | 0.00 | 0.04 | 0.16 | 0.07 | 0.275 |
| Medium | 0.01 | 0.34 | 0.29 | 0.04 | 0.681 |
| Low | 0.00 | 0.03 | 0.01 | 0.00 | 0.044 |
| Cumulative sum | 0.01 | 0.42 | 0.46 | 0.11 | 1.00 |
Each number indicates the proportion of responders ranking parasites as high, medium or low priority and simultaneously considering drug failure as a null, anecdotal, moderate, high-priority issue. For each possible answer, the cumulative proportion is indicated at the bottom or at the right of the table
