Accuracy in classification of the hyperparasitaemic status (≥ 100,000 parasites/µL) and the artemisinin resistance status in patients with falciparum malaria. Red bars show a proportion (%) of false negatives and blue bars show a proportion (%) of false positives. Method (i) assumes WBC count of 8000 cells/µL; method (ii) assumes WBC count equal to the geometric mean estimated from multivariable model; method (iii) assumes WBC equal to the geometric mean calculated within each age group. For detection of delayed parasite clearance, false negatives were observed only for true parasite clearance (PC1/2) of 5 h and false positives for true PC1/2 between 6 and 8 h
