Screening for Disease Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Surveillance indicators for AFP (Sensitivity): At least _____ case(s) of non-polio AFP should be detected annually per 1,00,000 population aged < 15 years.

Answer: 1 (per 100,000 children under 15 years)

Extra: WHO benchmark for AFP surveillance sensitivity: • Non-polio AFP rate: ≥ 1 case per 100,000 children < 15 years. • Note: In India, the operational target is often set higher at ≥ 2 per 100,000. • Adequate stool collection: ≥ 80% (2 specimens within 14 days of onset).

Flashcard 2: _____ phase must be present for disease to be considered for screening for disease control

Answer: Latent

Flashcard 3: The _____ rate of a test is equal to 1 - sensitivity

Answer: false negative

Flashcard 4: Increased prevalence results in _____ negative predictive value

Answer: decreased

Flashcard 5: Generalizability bias is a form of _____ that is related to the selective referral of patients to tertiary medical centers

Answer: selection bias

Flashcard 6: _____ = sensitivity / (1 - specificity)

Answer: Positive likelihood ratio

Flashcard 7: _____ = # of existing cases / total # of people in a population at a point in time

Answer: Prevalence

Flashcard 8: Time elapsed from initial exposure or pathogenic insult to clinical manifestation of disease is known as:- _____ period in infectious disease - latent period in noncommunicable chronic diseases

Answer: incubation

Flashcard 9: Excluding skin cancer, which of the listed three demographics count the incidence of the following cancers as their top 3 most common in the United States? _____

Answer: Children

Flashcard 10: The validity of a screening test is defined by its _____ and specificity .

Answer: sensitivity

Extra: Validity (Accuracy) refers to the ability of a test to distinguish between those who have the disease and those who do not. It is measured by Sensitivity and Specificity. In contrast, Reliability (Precision/Repeatability) refers to the ability of a test to give consistent results when repeated under the same conditions.
