Part 1: Simple Definition and Calculation of Accuracy, …
In this educational review, we will simply define and calculate the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of a hypothetical test. Patient: positive for disease. Healthy: negative for disease. True positive (TP) = the number of cases correctly identified as patient. False positive (FP) = the number of cases incorrectly identified as patient.

Introduction to diagnostic test accuracy studies
Feb 1, 2021 · Researchers should analyse test accuracy studies using the appropriate methods, acknowledging the uncertainty of results and avoiding overstating conclusions and ignoring the clinical situation which should inform the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity.
Methods for Evaluating the Accuracy of Diagnostic Tests
If there are no pre-informative results using “true disease” or “gold standard,” it is hard to confirm accuracy, although estimating an agreement is still possible. The purpose of this review is to introduce the basic concepts and methods of performance to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnostic test. TYPES OF TEST RESULTS
