Note. HAND = HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorder; g = Hedge’s g; AUC = Area under the curve; Sens = Sensitivity; Spec = Specificity; PPV = Positive predictive value; NPV = Negative predictive value. Values reflect normatively-adjusted T-scores unless otherwise indicated; Cutoff T-scores (Youden’s index): Learning = 54.83; Memory = 50.00; Attention = 41.00; Speed of Information Processing = 49.00; Executive Functions = 48.83; Motor Skills = 39.50; Cognitive Reserve = 37.90; Verbal Fluency = 48.63; Semantic Memory = 52.67; Prospective Memory = 43.85.
