Table 3.
The expected prevalence of MDQ positivity according to items 4 and 5 when adding to the first three item positive response at different cut off value
| Cut-offa | Item-4 (+) Expected prevalenceb | Item-5 (+) Expected prevalenceb | Both Item 4 and 5 (+) Expected prevalenceb |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 2.0 | 3.2 | 0.9 |
| 6 | 1.6 | 2.6 | 0.3 |
| 7 | 1.9 | 3.0 | 0.4 |
| 8 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 0.5 |
| 9 | 1.9 | 1.9 | 0.6 |
aThe frequency according to different cut-off scores were found from positive responses to first three items of MDQ plus item 4, item 5, and both item 4 and item 5. bExpected prevalence % was calculated according to sensitivity values reported in (Konuk et al., 2007)
