a

Results are based on the validation set (50% of the overall sample; nā€‰=ā€‰1010).

b

Positive predictive value indicates the probability of correctly identifying that an individual fits the category, while negative predictive value indicates the probability of correctly identifying that an individual does not fit the category.

c

Worsening and improvement in self-report symptoms was defined as symptom severity in week 8 minus symptom severity in week 1 greater than 0 and less than 0, respectively. Similarly, cutoff scores for change in rest-activity characteristics were defined based on positive vs negative change in rest-activity score at these 2 time points. Prediction was made based on the change in rest-activity characteristic and its correlation with the symptom. For example, if the rest-activity characteristic was positively correlated with the symptom and it increased between week 1 and 8, we would predict the symptom was worsening.
