QUESTIONS
Is Real Time-PCR useful in the diagnosis of
dengue infection?
Among patients with hypertension, is a serum
creatinin level useful in the diagnosis of
renovascular disease?
How good can USG predict breast cancer in
patients with breast tumor?
Structure
They have :
- Predictor variable (the test results)
- Outcome variable (presence or absence of disease)

GOLD STANDARD
- Standard method to determine presence or absence
of disease
- Ideally : always positive for diseased person, and
always negative for non-diseased person ---- rare, if
any ----- use the best method available
- One or combination of methods
- Its sensitivity and specificity should not lower than
the new method to be tested.
Cutoff
- When data are in ordinal or numeral
(continuous) scale, we have to decide the point that
differentiate normal and abnormal.
- Depends on the purpose of the test, need high
sensitivity or high specificity.
- E.g : for screening : high sensitivity. To decide
whether
a patient has to undergo a high-risk surgery : high
specificity.

Likelihood ratio
= the likelihood that a person with a disease would
have a particular test result divided by the likelihood
that a person without the disease would have that
result.
-This especially useful when a test result is
categorical or continuous.
Positive Likelihood ratio =
a/(a+c) : b/(b+d) = sensitivity : (1-specificity)
Negative Likelihood ratio =
c/(a+c) : d/(b+d) = (1-sensitivity) : specificity
Limitations
1. Random error
- by chance
- quantifiable ---- confidence interval.
2. Systematic error
2.1. Sampling bias :
- When thestudy sample is not representative of the
target population in which test will be used.
2.2. Measurement bias :
- Increase when the person determine the test result
have already known the outcome of gold standard.
- borderline result --- determine in advance how to
treat this result.
2.3. Reporting bias
- Unpromising results usually go unreported.
------ enough samples, so negative results can be
meaningful and reported.
