Current Concepts and Future Directions for the Assessment of Autoantibodies to Cellular Antigens Referred to as Anti-Nuclear Antibodies

<table>Illustration of pretest and posttest probability. Posttest probability (predictive value) for systemic lupus erythematosus as a function of pretest probability and as a function of indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and solid phase assay (SPA) (EliA CTD screen, Thermo Fisher) test result. Values for likelihood ratios are from Bossuyt and Fieuws [<a href="/journals/jir/2014/315179/#B29">31</a>], WBC = white blood cell.</table>
