Preferred Label : Positive Predictive Value of Diagnostic Test;
NCIt related terms : PPV; positive predictive value;
NCIt definition : The probability that an individual is affected with the condition when a positive
test result is observed. Predictive values should only be calculated from cohort studies
or studies that legitimately reflect the number of people in the population who have
the condition of interest at that time since predictive values are inherently dependent
upon the prevalence. PPVDT can be determined by calculating: number of true positive
results divided by the sum of true positive results plus number of false positive
results.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The likelihood that an individual with a positive test result truly has
the particular gene and/or disease in question.;
