scenario5 year old girl presents on the ward via A&E with a
“sore tummy”, feeling “hot” but with clear, non-smelly urine and otherwise OK physiological signs – can you rule out UTI? A colleague says that that clear urine is a good test for ruling out UTIs. You know its not perfect (I.e. some UTIs are missed) how much weight should you attach to the clear urine? Should you order an (expensive) urinalysis and culture just to be on the safe side (bearing in mind that money spent on that is money that could be spent on something else)?

Pre test probability
• Random patient from given population
• PRE TEST PROB = POPULATION PREVELANCE

Sensitivity and specificity (a recap)• Sensitivity P(T+|D+) Sn or TPR (true positive ratio
– 26/29 (0.89/89%)• Specificity P (T-|D-) Sp or TNR (true negative ratio)
– 107/130 (0.82/82%)• FNR = proportion of patients with disease who have
a negative test result– 1-TPR (0.11/11)
• FPR = proportion of patients without the disease who have a positive test result– 1-TNR (0.18/18)

Bayes formula Pre test odds x likelihood ratio = post test odds
Nb* pre test ODDS = prevalence/(1-prevalence)Steps when finding is present
–Calculate LR+–Convert prior probability to pretest odds–Use odds ratio form of Bayes’ to calculate posttest odds
Steps when finding is absent–Calculate LR-–Convert prior probability to pretest odds–Use odds ratio form of Bayes’ to calculate posttest odds

Pre test P (where do they come from?)
• Dx as opinion revision
– SHOULD be epidemiological data sets
– IS memory and recalled experience
![Page 18: Making sense of Diagnostic Information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d63550346895dcb6ad9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Heuristics (1)
• Availability: P = ease by which instances are recalled.
– Divide the n of observed cases by the total number of patients seen – makes observed case frequency more available
![Page 19: Making sense of Diagnostic Information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d63550346895dcb6ad9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Representativeness
• P = how closely a patient represents a larger class of events (typical picture)
– Remember prevalence
![Page 20: Making sense of Diagnostic Information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d63550346895dcb6ad9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Anchoring and adjustment
• Starting point overly influential (not a problem with epidemiological data of course)
• Cognitive caution is common (Hammond 1966)
![Page 21: Making sense of Diagnostic Information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d63550346895dcb6ad9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Value induced bias
• Utility is a perception (it’s the bit that goes beyond the facts “which speak for themselves”: cost, benefit, harm, probability)
• The fear of consequences affects decisions: I.e. overestimation of malignancy because of fear of missing case
