Abbreviations: ASD = autism spectrum disorder; ADHD = attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Estimates and confidence intervals are derived from 100 complete datasets derived using multiple imputation. Sensitivity = true positives/(true positives + false negatives); Specificity = true negatives/(true negatives + false positives); positive predictive value (PPV) = true positives/(true positives + false positives); negative predictive value (NPV) = true negatives/(true negatives + false negatives).
