Letâs start with what is the meaning of sensitivity and specificity: Sensitivity means that: how much the test can detect the positive cases. Specificity means that: how much the test can detect the negative cases.
Specificity (%) = number of patients without the disease who test negative Ã 100 Ã· total number tested without the disease. For a diagnostic or screening test, the proportion of people who are truly free of a specific disease and are so identified by the test. See: sensitivity. See also: specificity.
