Figure 1: The ROC curve of the accuracy of the RDT test by the selected characteristic
of under five children in Nigeria 2015 MIS

The adjusted odds of RDT being sensitive was about 50% (aOR=0.52; 95%
CI: 0.30-0.90; p<0.05) lower among children aged 7-23 months compared with
those aged 24-59 months. The adjusted odds of RDT being sensitive was 11
times (aOR=11.30; 95% CI: 2.58-49.60; p<0.05) and 2 times (aOR=2.15; 95%
CI:1.67-2.77; p<0.05) higher among those aged 0-6 months and 7-23 months
respectively than among those aged 24-59 months. Also, the adjusted odds
of RDT being sensitive was significantly over five times more likely among
children with severe anaemia than those with moderate anaemia, while the
odds of being specific was about three times higher among children with no
anaemia than children with moderate anaemia (p<0.05).
