We selected a sample of patients with depression (N = 70) and used Bayesian analyses to examine the diagnostic predictive validity of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Verbal IQ (VIQ) minus Performance IQ (PIQ) difference score for depression. The patients showed average VIQ-PIQ differences in the expected direction (i.e., VIQ > PIQ). However, based on sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value statistics, we concluded that the VIQ-PIQ split has very low predictive validity in persons with depression.
我们选取了一组抑郁症患者样本(N = 70),并使用贝叶斯分析来检验韦氏成人智力量表修订版言语智商(VIQ)减去操作智商(PIQ)的差异分数对抑郁症的诊断预测效度。患者在预期方向上表现出平均的VIQ - PIQ差异(即VIQ > PIQ)。然而,基于敏感性、特异性和阳性预测值统计,我们得出结论,VIQ - PIQ差异在抑郁症患者中具有非常低的预测效度。
