Accuracy of DPP tests in comparison to Trombley PCR (2014–2015)

Results of DPP Assays Relative to PCR (n = 205) All values are percentages with 95% confidence intervals
	Fever Panel [95%CI]	Ebola [95%CI]	Ebola Malaria [95%CI]
Sensitivity	89.91 (82.3–94.6)	77.06 (67.8–84.3)	77.98 (68.8–85.1)
Specificity	90.63 (82.5–95.4)	91.67 (83.8–96.1)	95.83 (89.1–98.7)
% Discordant (n)	9.76 (20)	16.1 (33)	13.7 (28)
Accuracy	90.24 (85.33–93.94)	83.9 (78.14–88.65)	86.3 (80.87–90.73)

The measures of accuracy were calculated as follows:

Measure	Formula
Sensitivity	(TP/(TP+ FN)) * 100%)
Specificity	(TN/(FP+TN)) * 100%)
Accuracy	((TP+TN)/(TP+TN+FP+FN))*100%)
TP = # True Positives; FP = # False Positives; TN=# True Negatives; FN=# False Negatives
