Grade of Confidence (GoC): The WHO and UNICEF estimates of national immunisation coverage (wuenic) are based on data and information that are of varying, and, in some instances, unknown quality. Beginning with the 2011 revision WHO/UNICEF describe their grade of confidence (GoC) in these estimates. As there is no underlying probability model upon which the estimates are based, WHO/UNICEF are unable to present classical measures of uncertainty, e.g., confidence intervals. Moreover, WHO/UNICEF have chosen not to make subjective estimates of plausibility/certainty ranges around the coverage. The GoC reflects the degree of empirical support upon which the estimates are based. It is not a judgment of the quality of data reported by national authorities.
Explanation of GoC values: |
|
*** |
Estimate is supported by reported data [R+], coverage recalculated with an independent denominator from the World Population Prospects from the UN Population Division (D+), and at least one supporting survey within 2 years [S+]. While well supported, the estimate still carries a risk of being wrong. |
** | Estimate is supported by at least one data source; [R+], [S+], or [D+]; and no data source, [R-], [D-], or [S-], challenges the estimate. |
* | There are no directly supporting data; or data from at least one source; [R-], [D-], [S-]; challenge the estimate. |
