The Bynum algorithm showed similar sensitivity between MA and FFS in Rounds 7 (30.2% vs 29.1%) and 11 (25.6% vs 23.9%), but lower sensitivity in MA for Round 9 (25.0% vs 36.4%). Positive predictive value (PPV) was similar between MA (62.7%-70.6%) and FFS (62.1%-70.4%) across all rounds. The CCW algorithm demonstrated greater MA-FFS differences, with lower sensitivity in MA for Rounds 9 (30.8% vs 46.9%) and 11 (35.0% vs 49.3%) and similar sensitivity for Round 7 (40.4% vs 42.2%). PPV varied across rounds in both MA and FFS ([Round 7: 76.3% vs 71.2%] to [Round 11: 68.5% vs 76.4%]).
