Evidence-Based Medicine Calculators

Clinical Calculator 1 estimates the population prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios from an observed sample.


Clinical Calculator 2 calculates the predictive values of a test and its positive and negative likelihood ratios.


Diagnostic Test Calculator determine diagnostic test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios) and/or the post-test probability of disease given the pre-test probability and test characteristics.


EBM Statistics Calculators calculate the parameters of diagnostic test, prospective study, case-control study, and randomized control trial for evidence-based medicine.

Decision Support Tools
