English
:
Measures for assessing the results of diagnostic and screening tests. Sensitivity represents the proportion of truly diseased
persons
in a screened
population
who are identified as being diseased by the test. It is a measure of the
probability
of correctly diagnosing a condition. Specificity is the proportion of truly nondiseased
persons
who are so identified by the screening test. It is a measure of the
probability
of correctly identifying a nondiseased person. (From Last,
