Equations for sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and relative risk

Sensitivity TP/(TP + FN)
Specificity TN/(TN + FP)
Accuracy (TP + TN)/(TP + TN + FP + FN)
LR+ (Sensitivity)/(1 − specificity)
LR− (1 − sensitivity)/(specificity)

TP: true positive; TN: true negative; FP: false positive; FN: false negative; LR+: positive likelihood ratio; LR−: negative likelihood ratio.
