Fig. 1 Mean URSxs are displayed relative to test results. A mean symptom score of 0.5 or more (dashed line ) was considered positive. Group mean values are designated by the solid lines . P values comparing positive and negative test scores were less than for SPTs, .35 for IDSTs, and less than for RASTs. Pos , Positive; Neg , negative.
