Table 5 Comparison of uRDT and cRDT sensitivity stratified by parasite density (p/µL) as determined by TBS
Group density (p/µL) | # samples TBS (+) (reference) | uRDT (+) | uRDT sensitivity (95% CI) | cRDT (+) | cRDT sensitivity (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
< 1 | 0 | 0 | – | 0 | – |
1–10 | 15 | 5 | 33% (12–62) | 2 | 13% (2–40) |
11–50 | 5 | 5 | 100% (48–100) | 4 | 80% (28–99) |
51–100 | 2 | 2 | 100% (16–100) | 2 | 100% (16–100) |
> 100 | 2 | 1 | 50% (1–99) | 1 | 50% (1–99) |
