Table 1.

Calculation of the Sensitivity, Specificity, and Positive and Negative Predictive Values of the Diagnostic Tests

Positive SIJ Block Negative SIJ Block
Positive physical test A (true positive) B (false positive)
Negative physical test C (false negative) D (true negative)

Sensitivity = (A/(A + C)) × 100

Specificity = (D/(B + D)) × 100

Positive Predictive Value = (A/(A + B)) × 100

Negative Predictive Value = (D/(C + D)) × 100
