Utility description: Screening Specificity Review Builder

Screening Specificity Review Builder — Systematic Analysis of Screening Test Specificity

Performs specificity review per FDA SaMD guidance, EU IVDR Annex I §9.4, CLSI EP28-A3c, CAP/CLIA §GEN.48800 and WHO Wilson & Jungner criteria: observed specificity with 95% CI vs validated, PPV/NPV at actual population prevalence, FP root cause classification (technical artifact, biological/benign, analytical threshold, cross-reactivity, pre-analytical, unknown/unresolved), trend analysis (declining trend, consecutive periods below target), subgroup analysis (age, comorbidity, CHIP status disparities), threshold optimization projection (Sp/Se/PPV at proposed threshold), and corrective action documentation completeness. Three-tier classification: SPECIFICITY_ADEQUATE / SPECIFICITY_CONCERN / SPECIFICITY_CRITICAL.

⚠️ Critical: Specificity is the MOST CRITICAL parameter in screening at low prevalence. Sp drop from 99.5% to 98.5% at 1% prevalence reduces PPV from 67% to 40%. Each uninvestigated FP = missed improvement opportunity. Verification bias: confirmatory follow-up <90% makes Sp estimate unreliable. Subgroup disparities may reflect real biology but require documentation. Threshold optimization must consider BOTH Sp and Se trade-offs. Declining trend even within validated range = early degradation signal. Tool generates REVIEW REPORT; does not replace raw data statistical analysis or formal revalidation. Threshold/criteria change decisions made by clinical advisory committee based on this report. Unresolved FP should be priority for next-period investigation.

Usage:
ScreeningSpecificityReviewBuilder.exe → demo mode (console output)
ScreeningSpecificityReviewBuilder.exe input.csv output.json → evaluate your data

📍 Scope of Application:
• MCED screening programs: Quarterly specificity review.
• Newborn screening: FP rate monitoring per condition.
• Regulatory reports: Documentation of ongoing specificity performance.
• Clinical advisory committees: Basis for optimization recommendations.
• CAP/ISO accreditation: Confirmation of post-market surveillance.

💡 Tips:
1. FP Registry: Maintain registry of ALL FPs with root cause classification; foundation for improvements.
2. PPV Dashboard: Monitor PPV in real-time; sharp drop = alert.
3. Subgroup Stratification: Automate Sp calculation by age/clinical subgroups.
4. Threshold Modeling: Use ROC analysis for quantitative trade-off assessment.
5. Feedback Loop: Send FP root cause data to manufacturers for assay improvement.

⚠️ Note: This utility generates a REVIEW REPORT on specificity. It does not replace statistical analysis of raw data or formal revalidation. Decisions on threshold or criteria changes are made by the clinical advisory committee based on this report and additional data. Unresolved FPs should be prioritized for investigation in the next review period.

Critical limits shall be verified against the approved specification, registration dossier and local SOPs.
The utility provides structured QC decision support; final release decision remains with QA/QP and approved procedures.
