Table 4.

The predictive power of immunological criteria to detect virological treatment failure at Tefera Hailu Memorial Hospital, Sekota, northeast Ethiopia, 2019

Immunological failure Virological failure (> 1000 copies/ml) Total
Yes No
Yes (< 500 cells/µL) 10 8 18
No (> 500 cells/µL) 39 238 277
Total 49 246 295

Sensitivity = true positive (10)/true positive (10) + false negative (39)*100 = 20.4 %. PPV = true positive (10)/true positive (10) + false positive (8) * 100 = 55.5%. Specificity = true negative (238)/true negative (238) + false positive (8) * 100 = 96.75%. NPV = true negative (238)/true negative (238) + false negative (39)  * 100 = 86 %
