## Bayes Theorem

[edit | edit source]

* The pretest probability of disease affects utility of the test
* Low pretest probability of disease: Negative result virtually excludes disease. Positive test not that helpful, triggers more tests.
* High pretest probability: Negative test not helpful.
* Intermediate Range Probability of Disease: Tests are most useful in identifying patients with the disease.
* Likelihood ratio (LR) = sensitivity / 1 - specificity
* Pretest probability X LR = usefulness of the test

## Incidence

[edit | edit source]

New cases per year or over a period of time

## Prevalence

[edit | edit source]

How many people have the disease at a snapshot in time

## False Positive

[edit | edit source]

Don't have the disease, but test indicates they do

## False Negative

[edit | edit source]

Have the disease, but tests says they don't

## Positive Predictive Value

[edit | edit source]

Proportion of people with disease who have a positive test. If you have a low prevalence of disease, this may be low. If you have a prevalent disease, this will often be positive.

## Negative Predictive Value

[edit | edit source]

Proportion of people with a negative test don't have the disease. If the prevalence of disease is low, this is helpful (atypical CP and a negative stress test rules out the disease).

## Metaanalysis

[edit | edit source]

* NNT, number needed to treat, number need to treat to save one life, or number of lives saved in treating a thousand patients
*   *
