Agreement of Clinical Remission Between Independent Evaluators and Therapist Ratings Using Benchmarks after Maintenance Care

Optimal Total Score Cutoff Benchmarks
Clinical Remission Classifications Kappa Χ2 Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV

CGI-I Therapist .33* 47.50* 71% 61% 71% 62%
CGI-I Therapist + SCARED-C Total Score .44* 98.92* 56% 90% 89% 61%
CGI-I Therapist + SCARED-P Total Score .48* 108.14* 65% 84% 85% 65%
CGI-I Therapist + MASC-P Total Score .44* 90.30* 64% 82% 82% 63%
CGI-I Therapist + SCARED-C Total Score + SCARED-P Total Score .44* 106.18* 53% 94% 92% 60%
CGI-I Therapist + SCARED-C Total Score + MASC-P Total Score .42* 97.76* 51% 94% 91% 59%

Note: Algorithm that optimizes therapist agreement with IE ratings after maintenance care is presented in boldface type. Sensitivity = the proportion of true positives, probability of detecting a treatment response, Specificity = the proportion of true negatives, probability of detecting a non-response, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) = the rate at which a treatment response identified by the algorithm is also an IE-rated treatment response, Negative Predictive Value (NPV) = the rate at which a non-response identified by the algorithm is also rated as a non-response by an IE, SCARED = Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders, MASC = Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, CGI-I = Clinical Global Impression of Improvement, CGI-I Therapist = Clinical Global Impression of Improvement rated by treating therapist, C = Child, P = Parent.
