Sensitivity/Specificity — Flashcards

How are prevalence and pretest probability related? _____

Positive LR > _____ is an indicator of a very useful diagnostic test

_____ ratios can be multiplied with pretest odds of disease to estimate posttest odds

_____ is the probability that when the test is negative, the disease is absent

A high _____ test is useful for confirmation after a positive screening test

Specificity values approaching 100% is desirable for ruling _____ disease (in or out)

_____ scores are used to calculate the probability that two loci are linked (linkage disequilibrium)

_____ is the consistency and reproducibility of a test

Sensitivity values approaching 100% is desirable for ruling _____ disease (in or out)

_____ is the probability that when the disease is present, the test is positive
