If fitting the sensitivity measures had increased the model's prediction of observed lung cancer incidence by cell type and stage for both groups, we would expect that emerging technologies with higher screening sensitivity measures could achieve improved mortality outcomes.
Information on IC and the false-negative, both related to women and to program, is useful for assessing and adapting screening strategies, for evaluating the work of radiologistsand thereby reducing the proportion of false negatives, achieving higher screening sensitivity.
As expected, screening sensitivity is higher for women with less dense breasts.
Screening sensitivity was higher for non-dense breasts (ACR breast density category I+II), that is, 75.3% (1,189/1,580), than for dense breasts (ACR breast density category III+IV), that is, 67.7% (582/860) (p < 0.001).
In primary screening this higher clinical sensitivity may lead to earlier diagnosis of high-grade cervical lesions and prevent cervical cancer (Ronco et al, 2013).
Furthermore, child and combined versions of the two-item screen demonstrated higher sensitivity (although lower specificity) than either the one-item screen or the full SMFQ.
This can be found as the ratio of: (sensitivity × prevalence)/sensitivity × prevalence + (1-specifiicty) × (1-prevalence) In general, the higher the sensitivity of a screening test and the lower the LTBI prevalence in the test population, the higher the NPV will be.
Individual risk factors used in high-risk screening showed poor sensitivity for GDM risk, particularly among Indian women, in whom none of the risk factors was associated with a significant increase in GDM risk.
Screening only animals aged over 2.5 years for PPD ≥4 mm had a higher sensitivity than screening younger dogs, but limited sensitivity gains were observed by including other teeth than the canines in the subset of teeth examined.
Considering the fact that approximately 40% of gastric cancers are still undetected [ 11], higher sensitivity of screening method is of paramount importance.
Although MRI has been found to have a higher sensitivity than screening mammography among younger women with dense breasts, reports of its specificity have been lower in high-risk women (Kuhl et al, 2003; Kriege et al, 2004; Warner et al, 2004; Leach et al, 2005; Kriege et al, 2006), resulting in a higher rate of false-positive results.
