These curves give an indication of the sensitivity of the test to aperiodic, red noise variability.
A score was devised to reflect criteria such as incidence, disease burden, sensitivity of the test, effectiveness of early intervention, simplicity of treatment and others.
If the prevalence of cancer is 0.3%, the sensitivity of the test was 50% and the false positive rate was 3%, the doctors were asked, what is the probability that someone who tests positive actually has colorectal cancer?
The multiplex PCR step provides mass amplification using common primers, which increased markedly the sensitivity of the test.
The use of the second PCR amplification increased markedly the sensitivity of the test for FMDV detection.
However, the study was seriously hampered in that there were insufficient data to determine if the variations in PPI dosages and durations of therapy affected the sensitivity of the test.
Firstly, screening is cost-effective only if the sensitivity of the test is high enough.
The sensitivity of the test in detection of endotoxemia associated with gram-negative spesis in the neonate remains to be determined in a large prospective study.
In the second step we vary the coverage (share of population covered) and the sensitivity of the test.
This again could be due to the low sensitivity of the test and the paucibacilliary nature of the disease.
When the PLR-induced changes in arterial pulse pressure are used, the specificity remains very good, but the sensitivity of the test is much poorer.
