Table 7. Analysis of sensitivity/specificity of RDTs and PCR assay results stratified by age, gender and diarrheal disease severity (PCR as the gold standard).

Assay kit	Age				Gender				Disease severity
	Less than 5 years		More than 5 years		Male		Female		Severe		Moderate/mild
	Se	Sp	Se	Sp	Se	Sp	Se	Sp	Se	Sp	Se	Sp
SD Cholera	26.9	97.7	55.6	95.9	53.4	93.7	51.3	98.6	52.9	95.6	52.1	96.3
SMART—II	38.5	93.0	60.8	92.2	60.2	88.2	56.4	96.5	52.9	91.1	59.1	92.5
Crystal VC	30.8	95.3	58.8	97.1	56.3	95.1	54.7	98.6	52.9	97.8	55.9	96.7

Sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) values are in percentage. PCR assay as gold standard
