(Single Best Answer) Question 7: In a group of patients presenting to a hospital emergency with abdominal pain, 30% of patients have acute appendicitis, 70% of patients with appendicitis have a temperature greater than 37.5°C and 40% of patients without appendicitis have a temperature greater than 37.5°C. Considering these findings, which of the following statements is correct ?
A) The sensitivity of temperature greater than 37.5°C as a marker for appendicitis is 21/49 B) The specificity of temperature greater than 37.5°C as a marker for appendicitis is 42/70 C) The positive predictive value of temperature greater than 37.5°C as marker for appendicitis is 21/30 D) The specificity of the test will depend upon the prevalence of appendicitis in the population to which it is applied Answer (Select an option above to get the answer):
