Abstract
Understanding the predictive value of diagnostic testing is a key component of clinical decision-making. Just as the predictive value of a single diagnostic test can be calculated, these formulas can be used to estimate the predictive value of multiple test results. Three clinical examples are provided to demonstrate how an orthogonal testing approach affects confidence in a clinical diagnosis.
