Clinical Desicion Rule for DVT
-1 point for each
-activtive cancer (w/in 6m)
-paralysis or immobilization
-bedridden for 3 day or major surgery (12w)
-localized tenderness along venous
-entire leg swollen
-calf swelling >3cm
-pitting edema
-collateral superficial veins
-previous DVT
-alternative dx as likely (-2)
Clinical Desicion Rule for PE
-Clinical signs of DVT (3)
-tachycardia (1.5)
-immobilization 3 or surgery 4w (1.5)
-hix of PE and DVT (1.5)
-hemoptysis (coughing up blood) (1)
-cancer ttreatment, 6m (1)
-Alternative less likely (3)
Validity
-how correct it is
-measures what it should
-cannot exit without reliability
Reliabiliy
-how consistent it is
-degree of association
-can exist without validity
Contingency Table
True Positive: a; tested positive with test; have the condition
False Positive: b; tested positive; don’t have the condition
False Negative: c; tested negative; have the condition
True Negative: d; tested negative; don’t have condition
Sensitivity
-snout: rule out
-true positive test
-shows all the positive so it rules out the negatives
-a/(a+c)
Specificity
-spin: rule in
-true negative
-shows all the negative so it rules in the positives
-d/(b+d)
Predictive Value (+)
-likelyhood that the positive test = having condition
-a/(a+b)
Predictive Value (-)
-likelyhood that the negative test= not having condition
-d/(c+d)
Positive Likelihood Ratio
-increased odds of having condition if testing positive
-ratio of true to false
-Sensitivity/ (1- Specificity)
-higher= more likely
Negative Likelihood Ratio
-decreased odds of having condition if testing negative
-ratio of false to true
-(1- Sensitivity)/ Specificity
-lower= less likely
Guide to Interpreting LR
-most powerful tool for quantifying importance of a particular test
> 10/<0.10: large probability
5-10/0.5-1: moderate
2-5/0.2-0.5: small
1-2/0.5-1: rare
