The (In)Validity of sensitivity and specificity
Statistics in Medicine, 2000This paper is a legacy of the first author, and after her untimely death reconstructed by the second author as a tribute to Irene Guggenmoos's contribution to biostatistics. It discusses two different views on diagnostic testing: the classical view in which sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test are considered universal constants, and the ...

, 2011 This RLO explains how diagnostic test accuracy is described by the terms sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting disease. Specificity describes the accuracy of the test in detecting health.

INTRODUCTION The sensitivity of repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in myasthenia gravis (MG) is dependent on the cutoff for abnormal decrement. METHODS RNS data of adults with and without MG from 2014-2017 was reviewed retrospectively.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1989
To the Editor.— There was a confusing explanation of sensitivity and specificity in the article by Anderson et al 1 in the March 17 issue. Assuming proper use of the terms true positives, true negatives, false positives , and false negatives , sensitivity and specificity are defined correctly in the "Methods" section and in the footnote to Table 1 ...

The sensitivity and specificity of serum glycan-based biomarkers for cancer detection.
Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, 2019Most of clinically used serum biomarkers for cancer detection were established in early 1980s when the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine was awarded for the "discovery of the principle for the production of monoclonal antibodies." Using this "Nobel ...

Sensitivity and Specificity of a Monitoring Test
Biometrics, 1985The usefulness of a diagnostic test is generally assessed by calculating the sensitivity and specificity, or the predictive value positive and predictive value negative of the test. When subjects are monitored periodically for evidence of disease, these calculations must incorporate the varying amounts of information per individual. If in addition, the

Sensitivity and specificity for correlated observations
Statistics in Medicine, 1992AbstractA general estimating equation approach is used to obtain estimates of sensitivity and specificity when the data consist of correlated binary outcomes. First order approximations to the variances of estimated sensitivity and specificity for prospective and retrospective studies are given.

Lead Systems: Sensitivity and Specificity
Cardiology Clinics, 1984In this article, the modified 12-lead system and the bipolar lead systems are discussed, both of which may provide adequate sensitivity and specificity of stress tests for clinical purposes. A single lead V5 or, preferably, bipolar modification of lead V5 may be adequate in certain situations in which cost or the type of population being tested ...
