Comparison of approaches to estimate confidence intervals of post-test probabilities of diagnostic test results in a nested case-control study

BACKGROUND: Nested case–control studies become increasingly popular as they can be very efficient for quantifying the diagnostic accuracy of costly or invasive tests or (bio)markers. However, they do not allow for direct estimation of the test’s predictive values or post-test probabilities, let alon...
