Note that lower scores are calculated as positive predictors of discharge yielding higher AUCs. AUC area under the curve (receiver operating characteristic). ‘p’ = Asymptotic probability for null hypothesis that AUC = 0.5. Note that H7 ‘psychopathy’ was omitted. Unadjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals and Wald p values. Note that OR confidence intervals could not be calculated for HCR-H1 or HCR-H6.
