Old WHO classification (test) Level of care (N = 357) Total
Level I and II Level III
DF [negative] 295 (83%); [TN] 28 (8%); [FN] 323 (91%)
DHF/DSS [positive] 22 (6%); [FP] 12 (3%); [TP] 34 (10%)
Total 317 (89%) 40 (11%) 357 (100%)
TN: true negative; FN: false negative; FP: false positive; TP: true positive. Proportional agreement (95% CI) = 86% (0·82–0·90); Kappa (95% CI) = 0·25 (0·1–0·4); SE = 0·076.
