$\mathit CP$ violation in these modes can come from the decay amplitudes (direct) and/or from mixing or interference of mixing and decay (indirect). The difference $\Delta \mathit A_{CP}$ is primarily sensitive to the direct component, and only retains a second-order dependence on the indirect component for measurements where the mean decay time of the ${{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit K}^{-}}$ and ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ samples are not identical. The results below are averaged assuming the indirect component can be neglected.

The systematic error here combines the systematic errors in quadrature, and therefore somewhat over-estimates it.
