Prevalence estimates of FSD varied substantially across instruments. Relatively low positive predictive values and kappa statistics combined with a broad range of sensitivities and specificities indicated that different instruments identified different subgroups. Consequently, the instruments researchers choose when assessing FSD may affect prevalence estimates and risk factors they report. Hayes RD, Dennerstein L, Bennett CM, and Fairley CK. What is the “true” prevalence of female sexual dysfunctions and does the way we assess these conditions have an impact?
