Chance agreement may account for a sizeable proportion of the specificity of a screening test when the disease prevalence is low. Conversely, the observed sensitivity may be largely accounted for by ...

We will calculate sensitivity and specificity for each test individually including 95% confidence intervals around these estimates. Sensitivity is calculated by dividing the number of patients with ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of simple definitions of BMI to successfully screen for children with high body fatness. DESIGN: We determined the sensitivity and specificity of the body mass index ...

Medical tests, like the blood tests that look for antibodies to the novel coronavirus, aren't perfect. Sometimes, you end up with a false negative: You actually did have the coronavirus and your ...
