the test that other tests are compared to
gold standard
most reliable and accurate
ability to detect change over time in the measured construct
responsiveness
what are common PT constructs
- ROM/flexibility
-muscle strength
-pain
-outcome measure
a
true +
b
false +
c
false -
d
true -
given that the ind has the condition, the probability that test will be +
sensitivity
what is formula for sensitivity
a/(a+c)
given that ind does NOT have the condition, probability that the test will be -
d/ (b+d)
a test with high sensitivity value that when - helps rule OUT a condition
sensitivity SnOUT
a test with high specificity value that when +helps rule IN a condition
specificity SpIN
given a + test result, the probability that the ind has the condition
+ predictive value
given a - test result, the probability that the ind DOES NOT have the condition
(-) predictive value
what is formula for + predictive value
a/ (a+b)
what is formula for - predictive value
d/ (c+d)
what gives quantifiable values
likelihood ratio
what are limitations with using predictive values
-sample specific
-depend highly on prevalence of condition in study population
ex: condition with low prevalence will have:
-lower + predictive value
-higher - predictive value
likelihood ratio combine what values
specificity and sensitivity
given a + test result, increase in odds favoring the condition
LR+
given a - test result, decrease in odds favoring the condition
LR-
what is the formula for LR+
sensitivity/ (1-specificity)
what is the formula for LR-
(1-sensitivity)/specificity
___ provide MOST POWERFUL TOOL for quantifying importance of a particular test
LRs
