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