LR = likelihood ratio
Refers to the odds of having a disease after a positive or negative test result.
LR+ refers to the odds of having the disease with a positive test. = (sensitivity)/(1-specificity)
LR- refers to how much the odds reduce with a negative result. = (1-sensitivity)/(specificity).

17
Q

Define pre-test probability.
Define post-test probability.
How do you calculate post-test probability?

A

Pre-test probability = likelihood of disease before the test. Based on current prevalence in the population usually.
Post-test probability = likelihood that they have the disease after a diagnostic test has been applied. Dependant on test accuracy. This is calculated using a nomogram and refers to the pre-test probability x LR.

18
Q

What is a Receiver Operator Curve and how is it used to test diagnostic accuracy?

ROC uses data to plot TP v FP rates for a series of cut-offs and gives an idea of the sensitivity and specificity trade-off. The area under the curve can b used to assess for diagnostic accuracy.
