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 accuracy Acc as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A case-control study compares 220 patients with a disease (cases) and 600 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). In a randomised trial, 410 patients received a new treatment and 960 received the control treatment. The table shows how many in each group had the outcome (an unwanted event such as a stroke). Find the absolute risk reduction ARR as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pre-test probability of 50% for a disease. A test with sensitivity 60% and specificity 88% comes back negative. Find the post-test probability p′ of the disease as a percentage. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A treatment reduces the risk of an event by 20% in relative terms (RRR = 20%). In a patient group the risk without treatment (CER) is 24% over five years. Find the number needed to treat NNT for five years to prevent one event. Round up to a whole number of patients.
