Table 1.
Diagnostic performance of the DPP II Fever Panel Asia on serum versus whole blood.
Summary statistics (cut off, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values) for the diagnostic performance of whole blood and serum samples run on the panel are depicted. True positives, referring to positives by reference test, have been included as well. Results from both micro readers are shown.
Fig 1.
Receiver Operative Characteristic (ROC) analysis for WB and serum samples.
Area under the curve (AUC) values for WB and serum samples across both readers are shown. No WB samples were available for Dengue NS1 assay and B pseudomallei CPS Ag assay. Legend: embedded in the graph.
Table 2.
Analysis of Equal Variance of WB and serum AUC values.
Pairwise comparison of area under the curve values for whole blood and serum was performed via a chi-square test to deduce variance in performances. Results from both readers (Micro Reader 1 and 2) were compiled to inform robust results.
Table 3.
Linear regression analysis of WB and serum diagnostic performance.
WB and serum sample results were directly compared via linear regression to deduce test performance variance across both sample types. Results from both micro readers (1 and 2) were compiled to inform robust results.
Table 4.
Linear regression analysis of reader performance.
Reader results from both Micro Reader 1 and Micro Reader 2 were directly compared via linear regression to deduce test performance variance.
