Comparison of previous months’ combined RDT and PCR results against the next months’ combined results for RDT and PCR
| Previous month’s result | Next month’s result | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| True negative (%) | False negative (%) | False positive (%) | True positive (%) | |
| True negative | 22,981 (97) | 212 (1) | 195 (1) | 185 (1) |
| False negative | 228 (70) | 51 (16) | 14 (4) | 31 (10) |
| False positive | 242 (70) | 8 (2) | 70 (20) | 28 (8) |
| True positive | 245 (61) | 28 (7) | 58 (14) | 72 (18) |
RDT = rapid diagnostic test. All samples with both RDT and PCR results for at least two consecutive months are included. Figures in parentheses show the row percentage breakdowns of the previous month’s result combination by the next month’s result combination. True negative: RDT−/PCR−, false negative: RDT−/PCR+, false positive: RDT+/PCR−, and true positive: RDT+/PCR+.
