Demographic characteristics of the sample (N = 192).a
Figure 1Correlation between the duplicate measurements of serum alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) levels (N = 192).
Figure 2In A, correlation between the duplicate measurements of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) levels in eluates from dried blood spots (N = 192). In B, correlation between the duplicate measurements of AAT levels in eluates from dried blood spot samples that were not turbid (n = 116).
Figure 3Correlation between the measurements of serum alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) levels and the measurements of AAT levels in eluates from dried blood spots (n = 192).
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of cut-off points calculated by using the bootstrap resampling technique.a
