Negative predictive values, specificity, True Negative, False Negative and Likelihood ratio negative are calculated for CAD-scores ≤ 20 and updated Diamond-Forrester scores < 15%. Positive predictive values, sensitivity, True Positive, False Positive and Likelihood ratio positive are calculated for CAD-scores > 20 and updated Diamond-Forrester scores ≥ 15%
