Thank you! Came here to say, but found, that you've already written it.

Effect size is going to be important when talking about clinical significance, not just statistic significance, too.

I also want to point out that we have no stats on sensitivity, specificity, or diagnostic odds ratio, which are all clinically relevant to physicians deciding when to test and how to interpret test results.

The good news is that it's a non-invasive, low cost test which plays a factor in clinical decision-making.
