What questions do diagnostic tests answer?
What are the components of diagnostic tests evaluation?
What do the components of diagnostic tests mean?

How does specificity assess true negatives?
Assess
Explain SpIN
Explain sensitivity vs specificity
Explain high sensitivity, high specificity
Explain likelihood ratios
What is pretest probability?
How are likelihood ratios assessed?
What does a positive likelihood ratio mean?
Calculate positive likelihood ratios: ThesensitivityofTestAforconditionA=80%or0.8, andthespecificity=94%or0.94
How does the positive and negative likelihood ratios differs in pre and post test probability (LR+ 13.3, LR- 0.3)?
What are the LR to probability conversions?
Explain negative likelihood ratio
Calculate negative likelihood ratio: Thesensitivityofourhypotheticaltest,TestA, was80%or0.8,andthespecificitywas94%or 0.94
How would an LR - of 0.21 translate to probability?
