The 18 pages that link to Sensitivity and specificity, each with the reason it gives.

• Differential diagnosisRelated: These properties determine how much a result can discriminate among candidates.

• Medical diagnosisRelated: These properties shape what a positive or negative result can establish.

• BiomarkerRelated: These properties shape how often a biomarker test misses disease or produces false alarms.

• Physical examinationRelated: These properties shape how much weight to give a positive or negative examination finding.

• Diagnostic testRelated: These measures describe how often the test correctly detects disease or rules it out.

• Clinical diagnosisRelated: These properties determine how much a positive or negative result changes diagnostic confidence.

• Prenatal screeningRelated: These measures describe screening performance but do not determine an individual's diagnosis.

• SerologyRelated: These properties shape how positive and negative serological results should be interpreted.

• False negativeRelated: Low sensitivity produces more false negatives among people who have the condition.

• Reference rangeRelated: Changing a cutoff affects the balance between false positives and false negatives.

• Developmental screeningRelated: These properties shape how often a screening tool misses concerns or prompts unnecessary follow-up.

• Cancer surveillanceRelated: These properties shape the balance between missed cancers and unnecessary follow-up.

• Preventive healthcareRelated: These test properties shape the false-positive and false-negative results of screening.

• Medical testRelated: These properties describe how often the test gives true positive and true negative results.

• Signs and symptomsRelated: They describe how reliably a finding or test result distinguishes conditions.

• Alarm deviceRelated: These measures describe how well an alarm distinguishes hazards from normal conditions.

• IridologyRelated: These measures expose whether iris readings distinguish affected from unaffected people.
