Evidence Based Emergency Medicine Part 2: Positive and negative predictive values of diagnostic tests
Introduction: n volume 3, number 2, pages 48-49, we explained some screening characteristics of a diagnostic test in an educational manuscript entitled “Simple definition and calculation of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity" (1). The present article was aimed to review other screening performance characteristics including positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV). PPV and NPV ar...

I clinical practice, two broad types of tests are usedscreening and diagnostic tests. Screening tests are those that are used on a large population [usually healthy individuals or patients who are yet asymptomatic] to identi fy those likely to need intervention or identify disease early. Examples of screening tests would include routine blood pressure monitoring for diagnosing hypertension, a P...

full textUnderstanding diagnostic tests 1: sensitivity, specificity and predictive values.
UNLABELLED The usefulness of diagnostic tests, that is their ability to detect a person with disease or exclude a person without disease, is usually described by terms such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. In this article, the first of the series, a simple, practical explanation of these concepts is provided and their use and misuse discussed...
