Predictive ability of Stroke Assessment of Fall Risk at cut point score of 27 vs. Fall Harm Risk Screen at cut point score of two.

Predicted outcomes
Fall No fall
Stroke Assessment of Fall Risk (cut point = 27) Fall TP, n = 52 FN, n = 15 Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN) = 0.78
No fall FP, n = 128 TN, n = 222 Specificity = TN/(TN + FP) = 0.63
PPV = TP/(TP + FP) = 0.29 NPV = TN/(TN + FN) = 0.94
Predicted outcomes
Fall No fall
Fall Harm Risk Screen (cut point = 2) Fall TP, n = 39 FN, n = 29 Sensitivity = TP/(TP + FN) = 0.57
No fall FP, n = 170 TN, n = 181 Specificity = TN/(TN + FP) = 0.48
PPV = TP/(TP + FP) = 0.19 NPV = TN/(TN + FN) = 0.86

FN: false negative; FP: false positive; NPV: negative predictive value; PPV: positive predictive value; TN: true negative; TP: true positive.
