In this study, we investigated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive likelihood ratio of a newly devised passive lumbar extension (PLE) test originating principally from prone instability tests reported by Wadsworth et al (11) and Magee. Notes: Significance levels refer to the results for the likelihood ratio test for all the categories of a variable. When the results were compared to viral culture alone, sensitivity was 70%, specificity was 99%, positive likelihood ratio was 54, and negative likelihood ratio was 0. |
