ALVAREZ MONTERO, S.; GALLEGO CASADO, P.; LATORRE DE LA CRUZ, C. e BERMEJO FERNANDEZ, F.. AUDIT test (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) for the detection of alcohol related problems in Primary Health Care. Medifam [online]. 2001, vol.11, n.9, pp.83-87. ISSN 1131-5768.
The AUDIT test (cut-off ³ 8) shows sensitivity 57-59%; specificty 91-96 %; positive likehood ratio 6.3-14.7 and negative likehood ratio 0.47-0.42 for screening heavy drinking. The positive predictive value (10% of estimated prevalence) is 41-62% ( ³ 8 points) and the negative predictive value is 4.4-4.9 (<8 points). If this test were applied in a Primary Health Care setting with a 10% prevalence for heavy drinking, it will detect 12 patients, it will lost 8, and it will produce a false positivo in 10 patients.
