The sensitivity of a “gold standard” is typically measured by comparing its results to those of another test or procedure that is considered the true or definitive standard for the condition or disease being tested.
For example, let’s say there is a new diagnostic test for a certain disease, and researchers want to evaluate its accuracy. They might compare the results of this test to those of a more established test or procedure that is widely considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing the disease.
To measure the sensitivity of the gold standard, researchers would look at the number of true positive results (i.e., cases where the gold standard test correctly identified the disease) divided by the total number of cases with the disease. This gives the sensitivity of the gold standard test, or the percentage of true positives that it correctly identifies.

It’s worth noting that the sensitivity of a gold standard test can vary depending on the population being tested and the specific disease or condition being evaluated. In some cases, there may be multiple gold standard tests or procedures that are used to confirm a diagnosis, and sensitivity may be measured by comparing the results of each of these tests to each other.
