Mental pain and lifetime suicide attempts in early adolescence: a preliminary study

Table 1 ROC/AUC properties by measure

	Estimates
Measure	Area under the curve (AUC)	Sensitivity	Specificity	Positive predictive value (PPV)	Negative predictive value (NPV)	Youden cutoffs
Suicidal cognitions (SCS-R)	0.87	0.71	0.92	0.29	0.98	27.50
Entrapment (E-SF)	0.88	0.76	0.89	0.25	0.99	6.50
Mental pain (UP3)	0.89	0.82	0.92	0.33	0.99	8.50
Depression (PHQ-A)	0.74	0.59	0.92	0.28	0.98	14.50

The outcome measure was endorsement of suicide attempt with some intent to die. The Youden cutoff value for each measure represents a threshold score that balances sensitivity and specificity equally
SCS-R Spanish version of suicide cognitions scale-revised; PHQ-A patient health questionnaire-adolescent version; UP3 the unbearable Psychache scale. Entrapment. E-SF entrapment scale short-form
