Title
LR = 0.714 / ( 1- 0.6844 )
= 0.714/ 0.3156
LR =2.66
RESULT : Increase the likelihood of the disease.
LR for Negative
• LR- = (1- SENSITIVITY) / SPECIFICITY
OR = 6.19%
Therefore, there is an increased odds of exposure
among patients who are ill
Incidence & Prevalence
• Prevalence: 4.07%
Post-test Probability (-)
Likelihood ratio(-ve).
=(1-sensitivity )/specificity
=(1-0.714)/0.6844
=0.286/0.6844
=0.41
LR(-)=0.41.
Pretest probability=population prevalence
Pretest probability=4.07%
Post test probability:
Pretest odd=p/(1-p)
=0.047/(1-0.047)
Pretest odd=0.0424267
Post test odd=pretest odd*LR(-)
=0.0424267*0.41
Post test odd=0.0173949755. Post test prob(-
)=post test odd/(post test odd+1)
=0.0173949755/1.01739
=0.017097.
Post test probability=1.7%.
Post-test Probablity (+)
Likelihood ratio (+) = Sensitivity/(1-Specifictiy)
= 71.4%/(1-68.44%)
=0.714/ (1-0.6844)
= 0.714/ 0.3156
= 2.26
