  1. Table 8 Table showing the accuracy, sensitivity, specific NPV and PPV of assessment methods. The performance characteristics were dependent on the data available in the articles
  2. aValues were re-calculated from the raw data sent by the authors. Only the population of interest were included in these values. Participants outside of the 6-week timeframe, under 18, or assessed outside of A&E were excluded
