Sensitivity, Specificity, and Positive and Negative Predictive Value of the Algorithm Developed From the Investigational Model, Including Baseline Clinical, Chest Radiographic, and Xpert MTB/RIF Assay Findings
Risk for Tuberculosis and Severe Disease | Sensitivity, % | Specificity, % | PPV, % | NPV,% |
---|---|---|---|---|
High risk (age <2 y or weight-for-age z score below −2) | 91.8 | 51.6 | 66.7 | 85.6 |
Low risk (age ≥2 y and weight-for-age z score of at least −2) | 83.3 | 53.8 | 62.5 | 77.8 |
Abbreviations: NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value.
