WHAT DOES POSTTEST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pre- and post-test probability

Pre-test probability and post-test probability are the subjective probabilities of the presence of a condition before and after a diagnostic test, respectively. Post-test probability, in turn, can be positive or negative, depending on whether the test falls out as a positive test or a negative test, respectively. In some cases, it is used for the probability of developing the condition of interest in the future. The subjectivity of the probabilities is based on the fact that, in reality, an individual either has the condition or not, so pre- and post-test probabilities for individuals can rather be regarded as psychological phenomena in the minds of those involved in the diagnostics at hand. Test, in this sense, can refer to any medical test, and in a broad sense also including questions and even assumptions. The ability to make a difference between pre- and post-test probabilities of various conditions is a major factor in the indication of medical tests.
