Definition
English
:
In screening and diagnostic tests, the
probability
that a
person
with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the
disease
), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the
probability
that the
person
with a negative test does not have the
disease
. Predictive value is related to the
sensitivity and specificity
of the test.
