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
