What is the specificity of the test for this cutoff point?

Orthopedics

A study was conducted of a diagnostic test (the FAIR test, i.e., hip flexion, adduction, and internal rotation) used to identify people with piriformis syndrome (PS), a pelvic condition that involves malfunction of the piriformis muscle (a deep buttock muscle), which often causes lumbar and buttock pain with sciatica (pain radiating down the leg) [7]. The FAIR test is based on nerve-conduction velocity and is expressed as a difference score (nerve-conduction velocity in an aggravating posture minus nerve-conduction velocity in a neutral posture). It is felt that the larger the FAIR test score, the more likely a participant will be to have PS. Data are given in the Data Set PIRIFORM.DAT for 142 participants without PS (piriform = 1) and 489 participants with PS (piriform = 2) for whom the diagnosis of PS was based on clinical criteria. The FAIR test value is called MAXCHG and is in milliseconds (ms). A cutoff point of ≥ 1.86 ms on the FAIR test is proposed to define a positive test.
