post test probability

What Factors Influence Post Test Probability?

Several factors can influence post test probability in gynecology:
1. Pre-test Probability: This is based on the patient's history, symptoms, and risk factors. For example, a patient with a family history of ovarian cancer may have a higher pre-test probability.
2. Test Sensitivity: The ability of the test to correctly identify those with the condition.
3. Test Specificity: The ability of the test to correctly identify those without the condition.
4. Prevalence of Condition: Higher prevalence can increase the post test probability.
