Scenario 1: The prevalence (a + c in the table below) of previously undetected diabetes in a population to be screened is approximately 1.5% and it is assumed that 10,000 persons will be screened. The screening test will measure blood serum sugar content. A value of 180 mg/dl or higher is considered positive. The sensitivity (a) and the specificity (d) associated with this screening are 22.9% and 99.8% respectively. Questions 1-9: set up a two by two table with the...

Suppose that your company has just developed a new screening test for a disease and you are in charge of testing its validity and feasibility. You decide to evaluate the test on 1000 individuals and compare the results of the new test to the gold standard. You know the prevalence of disease in your population is 30%. The screening test gave a positive result for 292 individuals. Two hundred eighty-five (285) of these individuals actually had the disease on the...

2. Two simple and inexpensive screening methods have been developed to identify individuals with HIV infection at routine medical check-ups. To study the sensitivity and specificity, both methods were tested on 12860 persons who underwent a simultaneous and thorough clinical examination that was considered to give an accurate diagnosis. There were 1900 cases of disease as diagnosed by clinical methods. The Screening test #1 was positive for a total of 1000 people, including 800 with active HIV infection. The screening...
