test.*significant at 5% x2 test
The outcome of the McNemar paired test used in testing the hypothesis
of non-agreement between the RDT and microscopy tests showed evidence
of a significant agreement between the two tests with test statistics of 553.47
with p<0.0001 while the Kappa statistics of the agreement was 0.55 (not shown
in the Tables).
Based on the microscopy test as a gold standard, Table 2 shows the
discriminatory and predictive accuracies of the RDT test by the characteristics
