It is possible to do a calculation of likelihood ratios for tests with continuous values or more than two outcomes which is similar to the calculation for dichotomous outcomes. For this purpose, a separate likelihood ratio is calculated for every level of test result and is called interval or stratum specific likelihood ratios.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1067/mem.2003.274 | author = Brown MD, Reeves MJ. | year = 2003 | title = Evidence-based emergency medicine/skills for evidence-based emergency care.
