PY - 2015 T2 - Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, 3rd ed AB - Other chapters of this book have made the case for the usefulness of likelihood ratios (LRs) in the process of diagnosis (see Chapter 16, The Process of Diagnosis, and Chapter 18, Diagnostic Tests). In this chapter, we present some examples of LRs, along with their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for many diagnostic tests. For each test, we describe the population to whom the test was applied and the range of prevalence (pretest probability) found for each target condition (disease). Our choice of conditions has been idiosyncratic and represents the interests of the authors. We restricted ourselves to tests in current use and so do not offer a technical description of the tests. The authors conducted all searches and summaries, without duplicate adjudication of eligibility or data extraction.
