Letter to the editor. Youden’s index and the likelihood ratio positive in diagnostic testing
We refer to a recent letter to the editor by Hughes [1] and show that, despite existing similarities between Youden’s index and the log-likelihood ratio positive, important differences between these two measures remain to exist which can play an important difference in clinical practice.
