The sensitivity of that test is calculated as the number of diseased that are correctly classified, divided by all diseased individuals. So for this example, 160 true positives divided by all 200 positive results, times 100, equals 80%.
What is the formula for sensitivity?
Sensitivity=[a/(a+c)]×100Specificity=[d/(b+d)]×100Positive predictive value(PPV)=[a/(a+b)]×100Negative predictive value(NPV)=[d/(c+d)]×100.
How do you calculate sensitivity of a test?
Sensitivity is the probability that a test will indicate 'disease' among those with the disease:
- Sensitivity: A/(A+C) × 100.
- Specificity: D/(D+B) × 100.
- Positive Predictive Value: A/(A+B) × 100.
- Negative Predictive Value: D/(D+C) × 100.
