a

TP = true positives, TN = true negatives, FP = false positives, FN = false negatives. Values presented represent the HemoTypeSC test results compared to the reference method, following ultimate adjudication of discordant results.

b

Any specimen that was either heterozygous or homozygous for each particular Hb variant was considered a true positive for that variant.

c

Any specimen that lacked each particular Hb variant was considered a true negative for that variant, regardless of other Hb variants present.

d

Positive predictive value.

e

Negative predictive value.
