Q

Equation for sensitivity

A

sens = a/(a+c)

a = true + (finding present in disease pts)
c = false - (finding absent in disease pts)

a+c = n1 (total disease pts)

Q

Equation for specificity

A

Spec =d/(b+d)

b = false + (patient without dz WITH finding)
d = true - (patient without dz WITHOUT finding)
