Abstract
“Diagnostic accuracy” refers to the ability of a test to identify a condition of interest. In studies of diagnostic accuracy, the results of one or more tests are compared with a reference (“gold”) standard in a group of patients suspected of having the condition of interest. The term “accuracy” in this context thus refers to the amount of agreement between the studied test(s) and the reference standard.Keywords
