Medmastery: PPV and Specificity

by Sabrine Elkhodr, last update September 19, 2019

The team at Medmastery are providing LITFL readers with a series of FOAMed courses from across their website. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting videos from their Epidemiology Essentials course.

In this video, Franz Wiesbauer looks at the impact of specificity and sensitivity on positive predictive value (and thus validity of a test) and why one has a bigger impact than the other.
