File name | The Yield Of A Screening Program |
File Description | One factor that influences the feasibility of a screening program is the yield, i.e., the number of cases detected. This can be estimated from the positive predictive value.Sensitivity and specificity are characteristics of the test and are only influenced by the test characteristics and the criterion of positivity that is selected. In contrast, the positive predictive value of a test, or the yield, is very dependent on the prevalence of the disease in the population being tested. |
