Comparison of the overall sensitivity of the modified Wells score versus the adjusted modified Wells score for HIV/tuberculosis as additional risk factors.
Scores | MWS (95% CI) | Comparison group |
Difference |
McNemar’s chi-squared test p-value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MWS & HIV only | 95% CI | Difference | 95% CI | |||
MWS versus MWS + HIV only | 76.66–86.43 | 91.02 | 85.36–94.63 | 7.69 | 2.86–12.51 | 0.0005* |
MWS versus MWS + TB only | 76.66–86.43 | 85.90 | 79.45–90.56 | 2.56 | 0.56–5.68 | 0.0455* |
