In a hypothetical study, 1000 patients attending a hospital general outpatient department were tested for diabetes using the following two tests:

 Fasting blood sugar (FBS)
 Glucose tolerance test (GTT)

There were 100 patients who had a positive GTT, and they were classified as true cases of diabetes. There were also 140 patients with an FBS of at least 6 mmol/l (the cutoff point to distinguish people with diabetes from those who do not have diabetes). Among these 140 patients, only 98 were true cases of diabetes (i.e. only 98 had a positive GTT as well).
