“…ROC analysis was carried out by plotting for all cut-off points, the rate of false positives against the rate of true positives. A value of 1.0 indicates a perfect test, whilst a value of 0.5 indicates an inadequate test (Lalkhen and McCluskey, 2008). The sensitivity and specificity for each of the TPS levels was also determined.…”

“…Sensitivity is an important parameter where the test is used to identify a serious but treatable disorder. 35 Therefore, despite lower specificity, ELISA could be considered as a first-line method for detection of H. pylori infection. To accurately diagnose disorders, it is recommended to subject the initially positive patients with "high sensitivity/ low specificity" tests to a second line-test with "low sensitivity/high specificity".…”

“…Bir testin duyarlılığı ne kadar yüksekse, o test tarama yapılan grup içindeki gerçek hastaları o kadar iyi tanı-yabiliyor demektir (25). Yani bir testin duyarlılığının %100 olması, o testin grup içindeki tüm gerçek hastaları tanımlayabildiğini gös-terir.…”
