*Sensitivity = 94% (95% CI: 86.9–97.5); specificity = 96% (95% CI: 89.6–98.8); positive predictive value (PPV) = 95.9% (95% CI: 89.3–98.7); negative predictive value (NPV) = 94.2% (95% CI: 87.2–97.6). χSensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and 95% CI of all were calculated by the Clinical Calculator One (http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/clin1.html). |
