Understanding the properties of diagnostic tests - Part 2: Likelihood ratios. Ranganathan, P. & Aggarwal, R. Perspectives in Clinical Research, 9(2):99–102, 2018. doi abstract bibtex Diagnostic tests are used to identify subjects with and without disease. In a previous article in this series, we examined some attributes of diagnostic tests - sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. In this second article, we look at likelihood ratios, which are useful for the interpretation of diagnostic test results in everyday clinical practice.
