Misclassification of malaria deaths, as the underlying cause of death, by verbal autopsy procedures.

<p>*<b>False positive</b>: Cause of death determined by VA procedures was inaccurately classified as malaria. The values represent the number and proportion of diagnoses that were incorrectly classified as malaria.</p>†<p><b>False negative</b>: Cause of death determined by VA procedures was inaccurately classified as an illness other than malaria. The values represent the number and proportion of true malaria cases that were incorrectly classified as other illnesses.</p
