Table 3

Probability of anticoagulation or cardiac surgery given varying pretest probabilities

Patients with hypothetical pretest probabilities Post-test probability given the presence of a visible retinal embolus Post-test probability given absence of retinal embolus
Patient A: 10% 12.7% (+2.7) 8.2% (−1.8)
Patient B: 50% 56.7% (+6.7) 44.6% (−5.4)
Patient C: 90% 92.1% (+2.1) 87.9% (−2.1)
