Sensitivity, Specificity, and Positive Predictive Value at Different Cut Points on the Mean Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Related PTP Score Compared with Rate of Positive Response on CGI-I in the Trial (N = 58)

PTP cutoff score CGI-I positive responsea CGI-I negative responseb Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%)

Sensitivity = T+ ÷ (T+) + (F−); Specificity = T− ÷ (T−) + (F+); Positive predictive value = T+ ÷ (T+) + (F+).

a

At least 1 week Much Improved or Very Much Improved on the CGI-I.

b

All other scores on CGI-I.

CGI-I, Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement; PPV, positive predictive value; PTPs, parent target problems; SE, standard error.
