Statistical analysis allows for FCE results to be determined by calculation, as opposed to clinician interpretation. This eliminates subjectivity or evaluator bias.
The criteria used to compare calculated results has been subject to peer review with known sensitivity and specificity measures. Sensitivity is the ability to correctly identify those giving a sub-maximal effort. Specificity is the ability to correctly identify those giving maximal effort.
The XRTS FCE has a specificity rate of 100%. This means that there are no false positives - none of the subjects are identified as giving a sub-maximal effort when they have given a maximal effort.
