Summary sensitivity and specifi2
- We systematically reviewed the psychometric literature on the PHQ-9 and performed a meta-analysis to ascertain its summary sensitivity and specificity. (nih.gov)
- We used the random effects model to calculate the summary sensitivity and specificity. (nih.gov)
Prevalence4
- However, in a population with a low prevalence of infection, even a specificity of 99.8% does not provide the desired predictive value**** for a positive test. (cdc.gov)
- The number of persons who would learn their true HIV status under each strategy and the number who would receive a preliminary false-positive rapid-test result were calculated using the HIV prevalence at different types of testing sites, the percentage of those who received results at each site type ( Table 1 ), and the published sensitivity and specificity of the EIA and the rapid test. (cdc.gov)
- With any type of laboratory test, the clinical accuracy or reliability depends on performance characteristics such as sensitivity and specificity, as well as the pretest probability that a person has SARS-CoV-2 infection and the prevalence of COVID-19 in the local community. (medscape.com)
- As this and subsequent studies have documented, most physicians do not know how to estimate the probability of cancer given the prevalence, sensitivity, and false positive rate of a test ( Gigerenzer, 2014 ). (frontiersin.org)
Conditional Probability1
- Sensitivity is defined as the conditional probability of detecting a true positive while specificity is the conditional probability of detecting a true negative (Hrudey & Leiss, 2003). (cdc.gov)
Pretest probability2
- For a high score, or pretest probability, a D-dimer will make little difference and anticoagulant therapy will be initiated regardless of test results, and additional testing for DVT or pulmonary embolism may be performed. (wikipedia.org)
- A low pretest probability is also valuable in ruling out PE. (wikipedia.org)
Diagnosis1
- In a retrospective study from 1980, the sensitivity and specificity of haptoglobin in the diagnosis of hemolytic anemia was 83% and 96%, respectively. (medscape.com)
Predictive value4
- In contrast to sensitivity and specificity, the predictive value does not define the proportion of people correctly diagnosed by a test. (uni-heidelberg.de)
- The predictive value rather determines the probability that a positive or negative test result corresponds to the actual condition. (uni-heidelberg.de)
- In the accuracy study, MR imaging abnormality was predictive of pathologic abnormality with a sensitivity of .79 and a positive predictive value of 1.0. (ajnr.org)
- 70 ms significantly improved sensitivity and negative predictive value of the test without a significant decrease in specificity. (who.int)
Bayesian6

- The Bayesian posterior estimate for sensitivity was 89.6 (95% PI: 79.9-95.8), 96.8 (95% PI: 92.3-99.1), and 94 (95% PI: 87.8-97.5) and for specificity was 84.5 (95% PI: 68-94.98), 96.3 (95% PI: 91.7-98.8), and 88.5 (95% PI: 81-93.8) for RBT, I-ELISA, and CFT, respectively. (hindawi.com)

Test sensitivity2
- If both NP and OP swabs are collected, they can be combined in a single tube to maximize test sensitivity and conserve transport devices. (medscape.com)
- Adjusting a cutoff point to identify more patients with disease (increase test sensitivity) also increases the number of false positives (poor specificity), and moving the cutoff point the other way to avoid falsely diagnosing patients as having disease increases the number of false negatives. (msdmanuals.com)

Tests12
- This reduces the need for unnecessary tests in those who are high-probability. (wikipedia.org)

- 9 Higher sensitivities are reported depending on which gene targets are used, and whether multiple gene tests are used in combination. (bmj.com)
- Inevitably this introduces some incorporation bias, where the test being evaluated forms part of the reference standard, and this would tend to inflate the measured sensitivity of these tests. (bmj.com)
- An alternative strategy would be to select a battery of tests based on their sensitivity and specificity in predicting test performance decrements assumed to be caused by exposure to a neurotoxicant. (cdc.gov)
- The strategy followed in the present study was to blend these two approaches, using animal data to develop, refine and extend the scope of tests suitable for humans, and then assess their sensitivity and specificity in populations already identified to be at risk for the presumed deficits. (cdc.gov)
- How to do meta-analysis of diagnostic tests with only sensitivity and specificity? (stackexchange.com)
