TABLE 3.

Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the UPSIT score to differentiate ILBD and control

UPSIT SCORES ILBD (N=47) CONTROL (N=137) SENSITIVITY SPECIFICITY ACCURACY AUC
  Predicted ILBD (UPSIT <23) 23 28 48.9% 79.6% 71.7% 62.2%
  Predicted control (UPSIT >23) 24 109

ROC analysis was used together with Youden index to choose the optimal cut-off point for UPSIT to differentiate ILBD from controls. Maximal sensitivity and specificity was achieved with UPSIT <23 for ILBD versus controls.

UPSIT: University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test; ILBD: incidental Lewy body disease; AUC: area under the curve; ROC: receiver-operating characteristics
