Duplex {R4HCR} | R Documentation |
Duplex Ultrasonography for Detecting Peripheral Aterial Disease.
Description
Diagnostic performance of duplex and color-guided duplex for detecting peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in 14 studies. PAD is defined as stenosis of 50-99% or an occlusion.
Usage
Duplex
Format
A data frame with 14 observations on the following 6 variables.
study
Name of study
test
Type of ultrasound (
Color
orDuplex
)tp
The number of true positive test results.
fn
The number of false negative test results.
tn
The number of true negative test results.
fp
The number of false positive test results.
