Accuracy in classification of the hyperparasitaemic status in patients with falciparum malaria, using WHO classification. Upper panels show results for 200,000 parasite/µL and lower panels show results for 250,000 parasite/µL cut-offs. 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
