Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) or “number needed to” measures of test outcome which can be derived from the basic 2 × 2 contingency table, as well as the likelihood to diagnose or misdiagnose measure which is derived from reciprocal measures. These measures were developed to summarise test impact in a manner which is hopefully more intuitive to clinicians and patients than the traditional measures of discrimination such as sensitivity and specificity.
