Rationale for change

UWORLD for Step 2 tag

This QID had no cards tagged to it on the AnKing deck, but I knew which card would fit this from doing biostats cards. this quesiton specifically asks about what would happend if the cutoff point was raised for a disease.

Educational objective:
Changing the cutoff value of a test in a way that alters the proportion of true-positive and false-negative results will change the sensitivity. Likewise, a change in the test that modifies the proportion of falsepositive and true- negative results will change the specificity.
Alterations in test sensitivity and specificity, as well as changes in disease prevalence, will affect the positive and negative predictive values.
