Misleading authors' inferences in obstetric diagnostic test literature

Article Abstract:

Some doctors who evaluate diagnostic tests for premature birth and preeclampsia are overestimating their usefulness. This can be seen by the fact that they use sensitivity and specificity to evaluate the test's usefulness, rather than a likelihood ratio. The likelihood ratio is a more accurate assessment of a test's usefulness.
