Digital contact tracing tool | Sensitivityb | Specificityc | Positive predictive value | Negative predictive value | LR+d | LR−e |
Tag-based real-time locating system | 96.9% (31/32) | 83.1% (103/124) | 59.6% (31/52) | 99.0% (103/104) | 5.73 | 0.04 |
TraceTogether app | 0.0% (0/32) | 98.4% (122/124) | 0.0% (0/2) | 79.2% (122/154) | 0.00 | 1.02 |
Either digital contact tracing tool | 96.9% (31/32) | 81.5% (101/124) | 57.4% (31/54) | 99.0% (101/102) | 5.24 | 0.04 |
bDenominator for sensitivity = number of patients attended by eight physicians who uploaded their TraceTogether data and had a work shift between 8:30 AM on May 12, 2020 and 8:30 AM on May 13, 2020.
cDenominator for specificity = number of patients attended by other physicians in the same work shift between 8:30 on May 12, 2020 and 8:30 AM on May 13, 2020.
dLR+: Positive Likelihood Ratio; LR+ = sensitivity/(1 − specificity).
eLR−: Negative Likelihood Ratio; LR− = (1 − sensitivity)/specificity.
