Question
Estimate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and prevalence from data in the 2 x 2 table for an infectious disease and its diagnostic test.

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a table and a question related to sensitivity in a medical testing context.
### Table:
| Status | Disease Present | Disease Absent | Marginal Total |
|----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|
| Test Positive | 57 | 4 | 61 |
| Test Negative | 43 | 96 | 139 |
| Marginal Total | 100 | 100 | 200 |
### Question:
1. **Sensitivity**
Options:
- ○ 57%
- ○ 93%
- ○ 69%
- ○ 96%
- ○ 50%
**Explanation:**
- **Sensitivity** measures the proportion of actual positives correctly identified by the test.
- It is calculated as: \( \text{Sensitivity} = \frac{\text{True Positives}}{\text{Condition Positive}} = \frac{57}{100} = 57\% \).
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is 57%.
