Propagation of uncertainty in Bayesian diagnostic test interpretation.
OBJECTIVES Bayesian interpretation of diagnostic test results usually involves point estimates of the pretest probability and the likelihood ratio corresponding to the test result; however, it may be more appropriate in clinical situations to consider instead a range of possible values to express uncertainty in the estimates of these parameters. We thus sought to demonstrate how uncertainty in ...
متن کاملEnsuring correct interpretation of diagnostic test results.
Editor's Note Ensuring Correct Interpretation of Diagnostic Test Results Today, physicians order a wide array of diagnostic laboratory and imaging tests for their patients, including genetic evaluations.Tomakesenseof thegrowingnumberofdiagnostic testing opportunities, one might expect that physicians, in turn, have grown in their ability to accurately interpret test results. The Research Letter...
متن کاملThe interpretation of diagnostic test: a primer for physiotherapists.
This paper outlines a practical approach to assist physiotherapists to interpret the results of diagnostic or screening tests. Diagnostic tests are used during clinical assessment to increase or decrease the clinician's estimate of the likelihood that a client has a particular condition. A negative result for a test that is 100% sensitive can rule a condition out (SnOUT), and a positive result ...
متن کاملUncertainty propagation or box propagation
This paper discusses the use of recently developed techniques and software in the numerical propagation of uncertainties in initial coordinates and/or parameters for initial value problems. We present an approach based on several validated numerical integration techniques but focusing on the propagation of boxes. The procedure uses a multivariable high order Taylor series development of the sol...
متن کاملHIV Rapid Diagnostic Test Inventories in Zambézia Province, Mozambique: A Tale of 2 Test Kits
Background The first pillar of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goal seeks to accurately identify persons living with HIV (PLHIV), a process that is predicated on facilities having the necessary HIV tests available to perform the task. In many rural settings, the identification of PLHIV is accomplished through a two-step process involving the sequential use of 2 separate rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)....
