Diabetes Screening Shown below are the real-life diagnostic characteristics of a particular diabetes-screening test – a fasting venous glucose measurement – from a hypothetical cross-sectional study population. Calculate the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of this screening test and estimate the prevalence of diabetes in the study population. Table: Results of fasting venous glucose screening for diabetes. Diabetes Screening Test Actual diabetes status Total Present Absent Positive (+) True + 67 False + 38 Total + 105 Negative...
Approximately 9% of the US population has type 2 diabetes. A fasting blood glucose test is one option to test for type 2 diabetes. Using this test, the probability that a person tests positive, given that they have diabetes is 0.6. What is the value of the intersect of diabetes and test result positive? P(diabetes ∩ testpositive) =
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing—more than 9% of the adult U.S. population currently has this disorder. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, renal disease, and amputation and leads to increased mortality, primarily from cardiovascular events. The fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test is a blood test that determines the amount of glucose (sugar) in the...
