Biotech Values

I'll prolong the discussion for one more post. With regard to SPECIFICTY, CAMH's MTWA is near perfect, with 97-99% negative predictive value. That's exactly what one wants with a screening test, good old fashioned rule out power.


From camh website

EPS and MTWA directed strategies had comparable one year positive (11 percent and 9 percent, respectively) and negative (96 percent and 95 percent, respectively) predictive values. Event rates were higher at one year in patients with ICD therapy guided by both MTWA directed (HR=2.1, p=.03) and EPS alone (HR=2.4, p=.007) strategies. The event rates for patients with both a negative MTWA test and EPS were 2 percent.
