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 accuracy Acc as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Evidence-based practice statistics worksheet with answers
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 prevalence in the study p 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 negative likelihood ratio LR−. Round to two decimal places.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A case-control study compares 220 patients with a disease (cases) and 470 people without it (controls). The table shows how many in each group were exposed to a risk factor. Find the odds ratio OR for the exposure. Round to two decimal places.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). 10 000 people are screened with a test of sensitivity 74% and specificity 84%. The prevalence of the disease is 28%. How many positive results n₊ are expected in total?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pre-test probability of 5% for a disease. A test with sensitivity 95% and specificity 83% comes back positive. Find the post-test probability p′ of the disease as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
