Abbreviations: ADOS-G, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Generic; NPV, negative predictive value; OBC, observation-based classifier; PPV, positive predictive value. Sensitivity was comparable across the three baselines for comparison; specificity was highest (>83%) when compared with ADOS-2 and best estimate clinical diagnosis.
