Table 3.
Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity, and specificity of measures of ART adherence readiness, in comparison with achievement of optimal early ART adherence
| Pre-ART adherence readiness measure | Concordance statistics with achievement of optimal (≥ 85%) early ART adherence | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPV | NPV | Sensitivity | Specificity | |
| High (≥ 85%) adherence in 1st practice trial (n = 83) | 0.413 | 0.850 | 0.897 | 0.315 |
| Demonstrated readiness in pre-ART practice trial phase (n = 83) | 0.394 | 0.917 | 0.966 | 0.204 |
| Provider estimate of high ≥ 85%) ART adherence (n = 176) | 0.506 | 0.798 | 0.710 | 0.623 |
| HIV Medication Readiness Scale score ≥30 (n = 176) | 0.370 | 0.660 | 0.435 | 0.596 |
| Transtheoretical model of readiness to change score = 4 (n = 176) | 0.442 | 0.778 | 0.742 | 0.491 |
