Sensitivity Analyses using the Preoperative Geriatric Depression Score - SF and/or the Trails B Time to Predict Postoperative Delirium

Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV
GDS -SF alone 56% 80% 35% 91%
Trails B Time alone 75% 82% 44% 95%
Either GDS-SF or Trails B Time 100% 63% 34% 100%
Both GDS-SF and Trails B Time 31% 99% 83% 88%

GDS-SF is the Geriatric Depression Score – Short Form

PPV is the positive predictive value

NPV is the negative predictive value
