The results listed in this Table indicate percent diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with an estimated 95% CI adjusted for sample size

aParticipants who were conducted both CFP-10pep assay and secondary assay (X-ray, smear, culture, and TST, respectively)

bListed p values indicate the probability for a significant difference between the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy of CFP-10 and the test listed in the first column of the matching row by McNemar’s test
