biostudies-literatureUnknown2016Kosinski KCFew studies assess agreement among <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> eggs, measured hematuria, and self-reported metrics. We assessed agreement among four metrics at a single time point and analyzed the stability of infection across two time points with a single metric. We used data from the Eastern Region of Ghana and constructed logistic regression models. Girls reporting macrohematuria were 4.1 times more likely to have measured hematuria than girls not reporting macrohematuria (CI_95%: 2.1-7.9); girls who swim were 3.6 times more likely to have measured hematuria than nonswimmers (CI_95%: 1.6-7.9). For boys, neither self-reported metric was predictive. Girls with measured hematuria in 2010 were 3.3 times more likely to be positive in 2012 (CI_95%: 1.01-10.5),BioMed research international7627358https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5203922biostudies-literatureAgreement among Four Prevalence Metrics for Urogenital Schistosomiasis in the Eastern Region of Ghana.PMC5203922Osabutey DTybor DKosinski KCBosompem KMKulinkina AVNaumova ENfalseAgreement among Four Prevalence Metrics for Urogenital Schistosomiasis in the Eastern Region of Ghana.Few studies assess agreement among <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> eggs, measured hematuria, and self-reported metrics.
