  1. PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value, LR+ positive likelihood ratio, LR− negative likelihood ratio
  2. 195%—Confidence intervals
  3. 2Over-triage calculated as 1- Positive predictive value according to the Cribari matrix
  4. 3Under-triage calculated as 1- Sensitivity according to the Cribari matrix
