*One point for every "yes"; a score of 2 indicates a likely case of anorexia nervosa or bulimia Setting the threshold at two or more positive answers to all five questions provided 100% sensitivity for anorexia and bulimia, separately and combined (all cases, 95% confidence interval 96.9% to 100%; bulimic cases, 92.6% to 100%; anorectic cases, 94.7% to 100%), with specificity of 87.5% (79.2% to 93.4%) for controls The false positive rate of 12.5% is an acceptable trade off for very high sensitivity. |
