| مستخلص: |
Comments on Richard W. Light's editorial on tuberculous pleuritis which confused statistical terminology by mentioning test specificity but actually describing positive predictive value. Assertion that Light intended to point out that a positive test will not be as predictive of disease when the prevalence of the disease is low. |
