other words, what is the prevalence? The positive and negative predictive values are completely different if the disease is very rare (e.g., only 0.1% of the population being tested has COVID) or very common (e.g., 90% of the population has COVID). There are many online calculators for positive and negative predictive values. Alternatively, you can download a spreadsheet created by the authors asamonitor. pub/spreadsheet.
