Diagnostic Likelihood Ratios (DLRs) Predicting Any Anxiety Disorder Diagnosis in the Pooled Sample (N = 1735)

Score Range
Measure Low Mod. Low Neutral Mod. High High
CBCL Internalizing T Score <50 50 to 54 55 to 70 71 to 77 78+
DLR .13 .47 .98 1.51 2.03
YSR Internalizing T Score <42 42 to 50 51 to 65 66 to 72 73+
DLR .26 .57 .98 1.64 2.35
Average Internalizing Score <49 49 to 52 53 to 66 67 to 72 73+
DLR .10 .54 .88 1.61 2.67

Note.

There was no significant difference in the accuracy of the CBCL internalizing in the 5 to 10-year-old age group, AUC=.66, versus the 11 to 18-year-olds, AUC= .63, z=0.78, p=.437. Therefore we present one set of likelihood ratios across all ages from 5 to 18 years. Note that T scores already standardize scores based on age and gender norms; the prevalence rate of combined anxiety disorders was 19%.
