1. Reflection*
2. Validation* 3. Support* 4. Partnership 5. Respect *=3 most important skills |
|
Sensitivity |
*rate of TRUE POSITIVES (implies rate of false neg) = (100-false neg) = (true pos)/(true pos+false neg) |
|
Specificity |
*rate of TRUE NEGATIVES (implies rate of false pos) =(100-false pos) =(true neg)/(true neg+false pos) |
|
sensitivity & specificity |
- are mutually exclusive (one does not imply anything about the other) - independent of the population of interest subjected to the test - 2 most common measures of the effectiveness of tests |
|
PPV & NPV |
- used when considering the value of the test -dependent on the prevalence of the disease in the population of interest |
|
PPV |
*likelihood that patient HAS the disease if the test result is POSITIVE =(true pos)/(true pos+false pos) |
|
NPV |
*likelihood that patient does NOT HAVE the disease if the test result is NEGATIVE =(true neg)/(true neg+false neg) |
|
Likelihood ratio (LR) |
*how much more likely it is that a patient who tests positive (+) HAS the disease compares w/ ones who tests negative = (sens)/(1-spec) - refers to the utility of tests - can be pos. LR or neg. LR |
|
Reliability |
*reproducibility of the results - degree of consistency w/ which an instrument or person measures a particular attribute (kappa values; in-class correlation [ICC]) |
|
Validity |
*accuracy of a test, determined by the measure of agreement w/ a gold standard (sens/spec, PPV/NPV, +/- LR) - basis for determining the clinical usefulness of a test |
