The sensitivity is the hit rate percent impaired at age 6 who were impaired at age 14 months or 3, 4, or 5 years. The specificity is the percent not impaired at age 6 who were not impaired at age 14 months or 3, 4, or 5 years. The PPV is the precision percent impaired at 14 months or 3, 4, or 5 years who will be impaired at age 6. The NPV is the percent not impaired at 14 months or 3, 4, or 5 years who will remain not impaired at age 6.
