| Specificity | 56 (30-80) | 96 (87-99) | 85 (65-99) | 90 (71-99) |
| Negative predictive value | 69 (39-91) | 82 (62-94) | 79 (57-99) | 75 (43-95) |
| Positive predictive value | 36 (11-69) | 92 (64-99.8) | 78 (51-99) | 90 (56-99.8) |
| Accuracy | 54 (34-74) | 85 (74-96) | 78 (61-95) | 82 (66-98) |
