SILVA FUENTE-ALBA, C  and  MOLINA VILLAGRA, M. Likelihood ratios: Definition and uses in Radiology. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2017, vol.81, n.3, pp.204-208. ISSN 1852-9992.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j-rard.2016.11.002.

The properties of a diagnostic test such as sensitivity, specificity and predictive values (positive and negative) are well known. Likelihood ratios are an alternative for summarising diagnostic accuracy, yet providing a more powerful approach to clinical interpretation and decision-making.

Keywords : Diagnostic tests; Routine; Likelihood ratio; Sensitivity and specificity.
