Sensitivity and Specificity

Lakukan tugas rumah & ujian kamu dengan baik sekarang menggunakan Quizwiz!

specificity formula

= [# of true negative] / [total # w/o disease]

sensitivity formula

= [# of true pos] / [total # w disease]

-LR equation

= [false negatives] / [true negatives] 0-1.0

NPV equation

= [true negative] / [all that tested negative]

PPV equation

= [true positive] / [all the tested positive]

+LR equation

= [true positives] / [false positives] can range from 0-10+

Negative likelihood ratio (-LR)

How much less likely a negative test is in a client with the disease compared to a client w/o the disease

clinical question of specificity

The client does not have the disease. Will they test negative?

clinical question of sensitivity

The client has the disease. Will they test positive?

Tyle II error

false negative

complement of true positive

false negative (Type II error)

Type I error

false positive

complement of true negative

false positive (Type I error)

what do you want out of a screening test?

high sensitivity (aka a low false negative rate so that you can rule out negatives--SnNout)

what do you want out of a diagnostic test?

high sensitivity and specificity

what do you want out of a confirmatory test?

high specificity (aka a low false positive rate so that you can rule in positives--SpPin)

positive likelihood ratio (+LR)

how much more likely a positive test is in a client with the disease compared to a client w/o the disease

what's the most useful clinical measure?

likelihood ratios

true negative

number of people with negative result and without the disease

false negative

number of people with negative test results and disease

true positive

number of people with positive test results and disease

false positive

number of people with positive tests results and without the disease

what are PPV and NPV dependent upon?

prevalence of condition

negative predictive value (NPV)

proportion of people with negative test results who are correctly diagnosed, aka probably that a pt does not have a disease given a negative test

Positive predictive value (PPV)

proportion of people with positive test result who are correctly diagnosed, aka probability that person has the disease given a positive test

sensitivity

the true positive rate, OR probability that an affected person will test positive

Specificity

true negative rate, OR probability that an unaffected person will test negative

SnNout

when sensitivity is high, a negative results helps to rule out the disorder (b/c the true positive rate is so high it means the rate of false negatives is very low)

SpPin

when specificity is high, a positive test helps to rule in the disorder (b/c high specificity means high true negative rate therefore low false positive rate)
