Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for comparisons of DC values by processing group

Group 1, U.S. (N = 69) Group 2, Ethiopia (N = 131)
ICC (95% CI) Mean difference (95% CI) ICC* (95% CI) Mean difference (95% CI)
Intra-eye, intra-swab: runs 1 and 2 0.998 (0.997 to 0.999) 0.01 (−0.06 to 0.07) 0.96 (0.95 to 0.97) 0.01 (−0.12 to 0.14)
Intra-eye, inter-swab: runs 1 and 3 0.91 (0.87 to 0.95) 0.61 (0.16 to 1.06) 0.89 (0.86 to 0.92) −0.16 (−0.40 to 0.09)
Inter-eye, inter-swab: runs 1 and 4 0.87 (0.81 to 0.92) 0.02 (−0.53 to 0.57) 0.89 (0.86 to 0.92) −0.35 (−0.58 to −0.11)
*

As calculated from linear mixed-effects regression models with crossed random effects for child, eye, and swab.

Difference in DC value for run 1 minus the other run; positive number indicates higher load in run 1.
