A gold standard screening test is a type of test that is used to determine the accuracy and reliability of a diagnostic test. It is considered to be the most reliable and accurate type of testing because it uses a known and accepted “gold standard” or set of criteria to compare results to. The gold standard is used to ensure that the results of the test are reliable and of the highest accuracy. This type of screening test is used in many medical and scientific fields, including cancer screening, genetic testing, and infectious disease testing.
