Counts of paired test outcomes in the two sub-populations for the BRSV-antibody tests (BRSV multiplex/BRSV ELISA). For the BRSV multiplex varying cut-off values for the included antigens were used (shown in Fig. 1). The BRSV ELISA cut-off was fixed at sample positive >10 PP, except for alternative 9 where sample positive >50 PP was used.
