What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total number of cases received and diagnosed with breast cancer (Number)

    This refers to the total number of individuals who underwent breast cancer screening or assessment and the number diagnosed with breast cancer. Evaluating the accuracy of screening tests using measures such as true positives and true negatives is crucial for assessing the reliability of screening tests and identifying potential issues. These measures help healthcare professionals make informed decisions about screening and diagnostic strategies.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total number of cases received and diagnosed as positive requiring a biopsy and MRI (Number)

    This refers to the total number of individuals who underwent breast cancer screening or assessment and tested positive, requiring a biopsy and MRI for further evaluation. A biopsy is necessary to confirm whether an individual has breast cancer. Monitoring the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer screening tests and the number of individuals requiring further procedures is essential for determining appropriate treatment or monitoring. Measures such as true positives and true negatives are used to evaluate the accuracy of screening tests.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. True positive results obtained by the diagnostic method (Number)

    The total number of true positive results obtained by the diagnostic method, indicating the cases with breast cancer that are correctly identified. A higher number of true positives demonstrates better performance in correctly identifying cases with breast cancer.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. True negative results obtained by the diagnostic method (Number)

    The total number of true negative results obtained by the diagnostic method, indicating the cases without breast cancer that are correctly identified. A higher number of true negatives demonstrates better performance in correctly identifying cases without breast cancer and reducing false positives.

    Measured: Up to 3 years
