Secondary outcomes

1

Specificity

Proportion of non-diseased participants correctly classified as negative

Time frame
2 months
2

Positive Predictive Value

Proportion of diseased participants of those referred for further workup

Time frame
2 months
3

Negative Predictive Value

Proportion of true negatives among all negative results.
