Results of diagnostic test in the form of sensitivity 25 (62.5) specificity 35 (55.6) predictive value/positive predictions were 28 (44.4%) and the predictive value/negative predictions were 15 (37.5) and a likelihood ratio positive was 0.625 / 1-0.556 = 1.407 likelihood ratio negative was 1-0.625 / 0556 = 1.482.
