Tuttavia, è opportuno considerare che gli score sono caratterizzati da una maggiore riproducibilità rispetto alla percezione del singolo, che risulta specifica ma scarsamente sensibile e associata al rischio di falsi negativi. Pertanto nella valutazione del paziente, l'impiego degli score è utile per bilanciare sensibilità e specificità.

[the test/scoring system] is specific but not very sensitive
In medical diagnosis, test sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate), whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the disease (true negative rate).
