CI = confidence interval. Cohen’s kappa shown for pairwise comparisons of 392 children. Eluate 1 was taken from the first blood spot extension and eluate 2 from the second blood spot extension. The bead comparison (e.g., 50 vs. 100) refers to the number of bead reads per well used by the software algorithm.
