Lets say your prevalence is high. You decide to perform this same analysis on a group of subjects with a much lower prevalence of a disease. Which of the following four measures will be affected by the fact that your study population now has a much lower prevalence of disease? Select all that apply
- Sensitivity
- Specificity
- Positive predictive value
- Negative predictive value
Homework Answers
Ans:
Correct options are:
Positive predictive value
Negative predictive value
Prevalence affects the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV). As the prevalence increases, the PPV also increases but the NPV decreases. Also, as the prevalence decreases the PPV decreases while the NPV increases.

Suppose that your company has just developed a new screening test for a disease and you are in charge of testing its validity and feasibility. You decide to evaluate the test on 1000 individuals and compare the results of the new test to the gold standard. You know the prevalence of disease in your population is 30%. The screening test gave a positive result for 292 individuals. Two hundred eighty-five (285) of these individuals actually had the disease on the...

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...
