Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A new test was compared with the reference standard in a study (see the 2 × 2 table). Find the sensitivity Se as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A new test was compared with the reference standard in a study (see the 2 × 2 table). Find the specificity Sp as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). In a randomised trial, 950 patients received a new treatment and 790 received the control treatment. The table shows how many in each group had the outcome (an unwanted event such as a stroke). Find the number needed to treat NNT to prevent one event. Round up to a whole number of patients.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). In a randomised trial, 610 patients received a new treatment and 870 received the control treatment. The table shows how many in each group had the outcome (an unwanted event such as a stroke). Find the number needed to treat NNT to prevent one event. Round up to a whole number of patients.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A screening test has a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 85%. It is used in a population where the prevalence is 2%. Find the negative predictive value NPV as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pre-test probability of 40% for a disease. A test with sensitivity 81% and specificity 63% comes back positive. Find the post-test probability p′ of the disease as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
