---|---|---|---|
Sensitivity % (95%CI) | 45.0(35.6, 54.8) | 43.2(35.1, 51.6) | 42.5(33.5, 51.9) |
Specificity % (95%CI) | 74.5(65.4, 82.4) | 79.7(68.8, 88.2) | 84.4(64.2, 94.7) |
Positive Predictive Value % (95%CI) | 64.1(52.4, 74.7) | 81.0(70.6, 89.0) | 91.1(80.4, 97.0) |
Negative Predictive Value % (95%CI) | 57.3(48.8, 65.6) | 41.3(33.1, 49.8) | 28.1(19.4, 38.2) |
Note. CI = confidence interval. DAWBA = Development and Well Being Assessment. HKD = hyperkinetic disorder.
