Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
Screening: The application of a disease-detection test to people who are as yet asymptomatic.
Purpose: To classify individuals with respect to their likelihood of having a particular disease.
Screening procedure itself does NOT formally diagnose illness.

Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
Screening Objective: To lower morbidity and mortality of the disease in a population (control, rather than elimination of disease).
Screening provides access to the medical care system which is not an actual goal of screening, but is a benefit.

Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
Screening is important because:
1) Diagnostic and therapeutic advances are often slow, but screening may be a “direct solution” to modify history of a disease in a population.
2) It provides a model for studying disease mechanisms and the natural history of a disease.
![Page 10: Unit 15: Screening. Unit 15 Learning Objectives: 1.Understand the role of screening in the secondary prevention of disease. 2.Recognize the characteristics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5697bff01a28abf838cbadb4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
Primary requirements for screening:
1) Early detection of disease leads to a more favorable prognosis due to early treatment, as compared to delayed treatment.
2) Pre-clinical disease left untreated typically progresses to clinically-evident disease (e.g. no spontaneous regression).
![Page 11: Unit 15: Screening. Unit 15 Learning Objectives: 1.Understand the role of screening in the secondary prevention of disease. 2.Recognize the characteristics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5697bff01a28abf838cbadb4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
Primary requirements for screening:
3) The disease should be serious (relates to cost effectiveness, ethics, and prognosis).
4) Prevalence of pre-clinical disease should be relatively high among those screened.

Screening for Disease ControlScreening for Disease Control
“PRICES” OF SCREENING:
1) Financial - may be very costly if screening is spread out over an entire population.
2) Anxiety - Individuals may have to be screened more often.
3) Some morbidity occurs - both in terms of the initial screening procedure, and
subsequent procedures.
4) Creation of “lead time” morbidity.

Evaluating Screening TestsEvaluating Screening Tests
Characteristics of a screening test:
• Validity – the extent to which the test distinguishes between persons with and without the disease: High validity requires:
• High Sensitivity
• High Specificity
• Reliability (High)
• Low cost, invasiveness, and discomfort
• Performance (Yield)

Validity of Screening TestsValidity of Screening Tests
How good is the screening test compared
with the confirmatory diagnostic test?
The test will actually classify a diseased person as likely to have the condition (“sensitivity”).
The test will actually classify a non-diseased person as unlikely to have the condition (“specificity”).

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY:
1. Lowering the criterion of positivity results in increased sensitivity, but at
the expense of decreased specificity.
2. Making the criterion of positivity more stringent increases the specificity, but at the expense of decreased sensitivity.

Validity of Screening TestsValidity of Screening Tests
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY:
3. The goal is to have both high sensitivity and high specificity, but this is often not possible or feasible.
4. The decision for the cutpoint involves weighing the consequences of leaving cases undetected (false negatives)
against erroneously classifying healthy persons as diseased (false positives).
![Page 30: Unit 15: Screening. Unit 15 Learning Objectives: 1.Understand the role of screening in the secondary prevention of disease. 2.Recognize the characteristics.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5697bff01a28abf838cbadb4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY:
5. In general, specificity must be at least 98%to be effective --- because misclassifying 2% of the population will create as many false positives as the sensitivity of the test will actually detect.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY:
6. Sensitivity should be increased when the penalty associated with missing a case is high (e.g. minimize false negatives)--- when the disease can be spread--- when subsequent diagnostic
evaluations are are associated with minimal cost and risk
