Missing: Samples with no result due to shipping and/or receiving error–excluded from analysis.

Inconclusive: Samples with inconclusive result as classified by laboratory, unable to determine a positive or negative results. Excluded from the sensitivity and specificity calculations, but included in the kappa calculations.

a: True Positive

b: False Positive

c: False Negative

d: True Negative

Concordance: percent of laboratory results in agreement the CDC

Kappa: Cohen's kappa coefficient measures inter-rater agreement considering agreement occurring by chance.
