Negative and positive predictive values of nerve monitoring in thyroidectomy
Head & Neck, 2011AbstractBackgroundRecurrent nerve injury is 1 of the most important complications of thyroidectomy. During the last decade, nerve monitoring has gained increasing acceptance in several centers as a method to predict and to document nerve function at the end of the operation. We evaluated the efficacy of a nerve monitoring system in a series of patients

Predictive value of prostatic adenocarcinoma after a negative prostate biopsy
BJU International, 2006OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive value (PV) for all prostate cancers and for clinically significant cancer undiagnosed after a 10‐core biopsy protocol, as the 10‐core transrectal ultrasonography‐guided biopsy is considered the standard technique of prostatic biopsy due to its high rate of detection of ...

Breast infrared imaging (IRI) for detection of breast cancer has been unfairly maligned as having unacceptably high false positive and false negative rates. IRI actually has statistical performance characteristics that are similar to mammography. The false positive rate of 14% is about twice as high as mammography but surgical intervention is not ...

Test Accuracy As Positive and Negative Predictive Values
2022Abstract This chapter explains how to generate positive and negative predictive values from the rows of a 2×2 table and that unlike sensitivity and specificity, they answer patient-relevant questions such as the probability of disease with a given result. It goes on to describe an important drawback of predictive values, namely that they

Negative predictive value of the Duke criteria for infective endocarditis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1996With use of new Duke criteria, 405 episodes of suspected endocarditis were previously classified as "definite," "possible," or "rejected" endocarditis. To determine the negative predictive value of the Duke clinical criteria for the classification of suspected endocarditis, chart review and follow-up were performed for the 52 episodes in which the ...

Effect of verification bias on positive and negative predictive values
Statistics in Medicine, 1994AbstractThe pairing of sensitivity and specificity expresses the efficacy of a test, and positive and negative predictive values measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test when applied to a particular patient. To calculate these measures, one has to know the true disease status of each patient. In practice, however, some patients may not be selected for

[Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value].
Die Rehabilitation, 2005What does it mean that a screening test has a sensitivity of 80 % and a specificity of 80 %? What conclusion can be drawn as to the probability of a patient tested positive having the target disorder? Is this probability dependent on the prevalence of the target disorder? These are the questions addressed in the present paper. The classical concepts of
