VHWs providing correct care for presumed pneumonia 35 (92) 30 (79)
VHWs providing correct care for diarrhoea 36 (95) 29 (76)

VHWs providing overall correct care, excluding referral of patients with negative RDT 35 (92) 16 (42)

*The 70% and 84% thresholds were chosen to accord with our prior lot quality assurance sampling approach, allowing for comparison between the two studies
