Table 3 Diagnostic accuracy values with 95% confidence intervals using the same cut-off value for two sets of horses: A: all horses ( n =102); B: horses 7 months or older ( n =86)

From: SvSXP: a Strongylus vulgaris antigen with potential for prepatent diagnosis

Data set:

A

Se

73.3% (60.3 – 83.9%)

65.5% (51.9 – 77.5%)

Sp

  1. Cut-off values represent optimal sensitivity and specificity for each case-definition. PP: percent of a positive control; Se: sensitivity; Sp: specificity; DOR: diagnostic odds ratio; LR+: positive likelihood ratio; LR-: negative likelihood ratio. The 95% confidence intervals are given in parentheses.
