Table 2. Test characteristics of EDSC against ASQ, having “EDSC Delay” as tool positive.

Criteria of test positive Child delayed in EDSC taken “EDSC delay”
(Tool positive)
Sensitivitya 84.38
(95% CI [67.21%–94.72%])
Specificityb 98.36
(95% CI [96.22%–99.47%])
Positive Predictive Valuec 84.38
(95% CI [69.09%–92.88%])
Negative Predictive valued 98.36
(95% CI [96.41%–99.26%])
Overall Test Accuracye 97.03
(95% CI [94.61%–98.57%]) (p ≤ .001)
Proportions of specific agreement:
Negative agreement = 2 * 300 / (2*300 + 5 +5) = 98.36%
Positive agreement = 2 * 27 / (2*27 + 5 +5) = 84.38%

Notes.

a

Sensitivity: probability that a test result will be positive when the disease is present (true positive rate).

b

Specificity: probability that a test result will be negative when the disease is not present (true negative rate).

c

Positive predictive value: probability that the disease is present when the test is positive.

d

Negative predictive value: probability that the disease is not present when the test is negative.

e

Accuracy: overall probability that a patient is correctly classified.
