what are examples of quantitative reporting
conc mg/dL
plus system
what are examples of qualitative reporting
small, moderate, large
neg/pos/WRR (normal)
what chemical property in urine is check in pregnant women
glucose and protein
def? refers to the ability of the test to correctly id those pt with the disease
sensitivity
what is the formula of sensitivity
sensitivity % = true pos/ true pos + false neg
def? refers to the ability of the test to correctly id those pt without the disease
specificity
formula of specificity
specificity % = true neg/ true neg + false pos
