Clinical Scenario 3


Finally, let’s apply what you’ve learned to another clinical situation (a family doctor’s office). Here, the prevalence (or pre-test probability) of breast cancer is very, very low (1%).

If all 1000 women are examined, and the sensitivity and specificity remain unchanged (80% and 90%, respectively), please construct a 2x2 table and calculate the predictive values.
