#8 What are sensitivity and specificity performances of a diagnostic assay?
Presented by Audrey Carlo and Cécile Hourquet // Special guest Lydie Nicoud, Director of Design and Biological Applications development
Welcome to Ask Stago, the weekly podcast for Hemostasis laboratory professionals
In today’s episode, with Lydie Nicoud, Director of Design and Biological Applications development, Cécile Hourquet and Audrey Carlo will try to better understand sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test, through some examples.
