*Sensitivity: proportion of patients correctly diagnosed as positive using the index test (TP/[TP + FN]).
†Specificity: proportion of patients correctly diagnosed as negative using the index test (TN/[TN + FP]).
‡Positive Predictive Value (PPV): proportion of patients correctly diagnosed as positive using the index test of all patients with a positive diagnosis using the index test (TP/[TP + FP]).
§Negative Predictive Value (NPV): proportion of patients correctly diagnosed as negative using the index test of all patients with a negative diagnosis using the index test (TN/[TN + FN]).
║Accuracy: proportion of patients correctly diagnosed as either positive or negative ([TP + TN]/[TP + FP + TN + FN]).
TP, true positive; TN, true negative; FP, false positive; FN, false negative.
