TLDR
These tables were derived from formulation of sensitivity and specificity test using Power Analysis and Sample Size (PASS) software based on desired type I error, power and effect size.Abstract:
Sensitivity and specificity analysis is commonly used for screening and diagnostic tests. The main issue researchers face is to determine the sufficient sample sizes that are related with screening and diagnostic studies. Although the formula for sample size calculation is available but concerning majority of the researchers are not mathematicians or statisticians, hence, sample size calculation might not be easy for them. This review paper provides sample size tables with regards to sensitivity and specificity analysis. These tables were derived from formulation of sensitivity and specificity test using Power Analysis and Sample Size (PASS) software based on desired type I error, power and effect size. The approaches on how to use the tables were also discussed.read more

Diagnostic accuracy of a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test in real-life clinical settings.
TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of the SARS-CoV-2 Roche/SD Biosensor rapid antigen test was evaluated in a primary/secondary care setting, and the results showed that the sensitivity of the test was 65.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 56.8-73.1).

Likelihood ratios with confidence: sample size estimation for diagnostic test studies.
TL;DR: This work presents a method for calculating likelihood ratio confidence intervals for tests that have positive or negative results, tests with non-positive/non-negative results, and tests reported on an ordinal outcome scale and demonstrates a sample size estimation procedure for diagnostic test studies based on the desired likelihood ratioconfidence interval.
