“Using Youden’s Index, which locates the threshold value that maximizes the distance between the ROC curve and the line of chance, to identify optimally performing threshold values from each ROC curve resulted in 85.87% sensitivity to detect PROMIS depression T-scores within the severe range based on the adjusted model, but with specificity of 34.05%; the best performance was 96.91% sensitivity to detect PROMIS depression T-scores within the moderate range (with 63.40% specificity) from the unadjusted model. Sensitivity was lowest (42.72%) for detection of PROMIS depression T-scores within the mild range based on an unadjusted analysis. Specificity was lowest (31.55%) for detection of PROMIS depression T-scores within the moderate range based on the adjusted model (Table 4).”
