- 3. 2 Pretest probability and test accuracy considerations
This approach is likely to improve the pretest probability for TB; therefore, it should improve the predictive value of the molecular test and reduce false positive results, especially in populations with a low prevalence of TB
- Guidance for Studies Evaluating the Accuracy of Tuberculosis Triage Tests
Approximately 3 6 million cases of active tuberculosis (TB) go potentially undiagnosed annually, partly due to limited access to confirmatory diagnostic tests, such as molecular assays or mycobacterial culture, in community and primary healthcare settings This article provides guidance for TB triage test evaluations
- Tuberculosis (TB) - Infectious Diseases - MSD Manual Professional Edition
Like most clinical tests, positive TB test results are statistically more likely to be false positives when the prior probability of TB infection is low (see also Understanding Medical Tests and Test Results)

What is the positive predictive value (assume the prior probability of tuberculosis is 5%)? Positive Predictive Value (PPV) is the probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have the disease It is calculated as: PPV = True Positives (True Positives + False Positives) So, the PPV of the test is: PPV = 22 (22 + 51) = 0 30

A Find the probability that the patient has tuberculosis (before looking at the result of the test), i e , p(B|I) This is known as the base rate or the prior probability
- The Open Tropical Medicine Journal, 1, Accuracy of Clinical Signs in . . .
This study intends to estimate the prior probability of TB, and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of major disease characteristics for TB in a group of patients admitted to a tertiary hospital setting in Rwanda
- Solved Consider the following hypothetical findings of the - Chegg
Assume a prior probability of tuberculosis of 3 0% If the prior probability is unknown, a simpler approach can be used for calculating PV+ and PV- Using this approach, what is PV+? ALSO, what is LR- and LR+? Here’s the best way to solve it True positive (TP) = 40 False positive (FP) = 75 True negative (TN) = 1600 False …
- Selecting a Test for Latent TB Infection (LTBI) - CTCA
The definition of a positive tuberculin skin test depends on a person’s prior probability of having LTBI and the person’s risk of developing active TB Persons known or suspected to have HIV infection Recent contacts to an active case of pulmonary or laryngeal TB Persons with fibrotic changes seen on chest radiograph consistent with TB
