Screening is a process by which we identify the people who have the disease from those who don't have the disease by using specific tests.
It's helps in identifying the disease even before the pre symptomatic period.
It can eliminate the disease my early diagnosis or decrease the damage it causes to one person's health by early treatment .
5. Definition For Screening
The presumptive identification of those who
probably have disease from those who do not have
By
means of rapidly applied tests in apparently
healthy individuals.

10. TYPES OF SCREENING
Mass screening
• Whole
population
• Screening of
• Ca breast
• Ca cervix
• HIV
High risk
screening
• Group of
population
• Screening of
• Defence people
• Age groups
• High risk groups
Multipurpose
screening
• To do More
than one test
done
simultaneously
to detect more
than one
disease
• Screening of
pregnant
women for
VDRL, HIV, HBV
Multiphasic
screening
• Various
diagnostic
procedures are
employed
during the same
screening
program
• DM - FBS,
Glucose
tolerance test
11. TYPES OF SCREENING
People screened for their own benefit
Case detection
Secondary level prevention
Examples
• Breast lump – mammography for CA
breast
• Vaginal or post coital bleed – Pap
smear for cervical CA
• DM – Fasting and Post –prandial blood
sugar
Prescriptive screening
People screened for others benefit
Disease control
Primary level prevention
Examples
• HIV testing in all ANC
females to prevent
transmission
• Immigrants for infectious
diseases
Prospective screening
12. USES OF SCREENING
02 Control of disease
• Prospective screening
• Others benefit
• Screening of immigrants for
Ebola, Tb
• Screening for HIV,STD’s
03 Research purposes
• To know the Natural History of
diseases like cancer and ,HTN.
• Initial screening –Prevalence
estimate
• Subsequent screening – an
Incidence figure

Case Detection
o Prescriptive screening
o Own benefit
o Neonatal screening
Educational
opportunities
• Acquisition of information of public
health relevance
• Creating public awareness
• For educating health professionals
13. Screening tests Diagnostic tests
Done on apparently healthy people Done on sick or ill people
Applied to groups Applied to single patient
Results are final Diagnosis is not final
Based on one criteria and cut off Based of evaluation of signs and
symptoms and lab findings
Less accurate More accurate
Less expensive More expensive
Not a basis for treatment Used as a basis for treatment
Initiative comes from investigator Initiative comes from patient
14. Effective treatnment
A test that can detect the
disease before signs and
symptoms
Natural history to be known
Latent or early
asymplomatic stage
Important health problem
DISEASE
CRITERIA FOR SCREENING
15. Expected benefits of early
detection should exceed the risks
and costs
Good evidence Early detection ant
treatment reduces morbidity and
mortality
Policy concerning who to
treat as patients

TEST
• REPEATABILITY : The results should be consistent when repeated

• This is not possible because of the variations that cause the test not
to yield the same result
• 3 types of observer variations
● Variation in the results of
the test conducted over a
short period on the same
individual
● EX : BP measured over
short interval
INTRASUBJECT
● Variation in the test due
to the same observer
examining the result at
different times
● EX: Two readings of BP
by same observer
INTRA-OBSERVER
● Variation in the results of
the test due to multiple
observers examining the
result
● EX: Chest X- ray by two
different Radiologists
INTER-OBSERVER

29. DISADVANTAGES OF SCREENING
• FALSE NEGATIVES : If a person with disease is labelled Negative
• False reassurance
• Ignores signs and symptoms
• Postponement of treatment
• Detrimental to overall health
• FALSE POSITIVES : If a person without disease is labelled Positive
• Further testing with long and expensive tests
• Discomfort ,inconvenience , anxiety
• Burden of health facilities
• Emotional trauma

Editor's Notes
Prescriptive based on symptomatology
Prevalence all cases at a point of time
Incidence no of new cases
To distinguish btw false positive and false negative
IN case of lethal diseases cut of points can be set low bescuse of more sensitivity
You can use this slide as your opening or closing slide. Should you choose to use it as a closing, make sure you review the main points of your presentation. One creative way to do that is by adding animations to the various graphics on a slide. This slide has 4 different graphics, and, when you view the slideshow, you will see that you can click to reveal the next graphic. Similarly, as you review the main topics in your presentation, you may want each point to show up when you are addressing that topic.
Add animation to images and graphics:
Select your image or graphic.
Click on the Animations tab.
Choose from the options. The animation for this slide is “Split”. The drop-down menu in the Animation section gives even more animations you can use.
If you have multiple graphics or images, you will see a number appear next to it that notes the order of the animations.
Note: You will want to choose the animations carefully. You do not want to make your audience dizzy from your presentation.
