Tidbits Flashcards
Plasma composition (water vs solids)
92-95% water, 5-8% solids. Most solids are proteins, others are glucose, urea, electrolytes, other chemicals
CV % equation
CV% = (SD/mean)x100
Within-assay CV
random error that is expected when one sample is analyzed multiple times in one run of an assay.
Between-assay CV
random error within one run of the assay plus the error from additional runs of the assay by using the same sample
USD
Usual Standard Deviation (USD): an average of SD values from 3-6 consecutive months of quality assurance values. If a change in patient’s data is <2x USD, the change may be only analytical variation. If a change in patient data is >3x USD, the change is probably due to biologic variation
Diagnostic sensitivity definition
The frequency with which a test is positive in patients that have the disease of interest.
A test with high diagnostic sensitivity is good for screening for the presence of a disease because the test has very few FN. If the animal has the disease, there is a high probability the test will be positive
Diagnostic specificity definition
The frequency with which a test is negative in patients that do not have the disease of interest.
A test with high diagnostic specificity can be good for confirming that an animal has a disease because the test has very few FP. If the result is positive, there is a high probability the animal will have the disease
Diagnostic accuracy definition
The frequency with which a test correctly classifies an animal as having or not having the disease
Positive predictive value definition
The probability that a positive test result indicates that an animal has the disease.
A test with high PPV has very few FP compared to TP. Thus, a positive test strongly suggests the presence of the disease
Negative predictive value definition
The probability that a negative test result indicates that the animal does not have the disease.
A test with high NPV has very few FN compared to TN. Thus, a negative test result strongly suggests the absence of the disease
