*Calibration ability identifies whether the risk of vulnerability calculated from the model reflects the actual fraction of children in the population with developmental vulnerability (ie, positive predictive value, whether the high-risk group had a high rate of developmental vulnerability). Risk stratification capacity shows whether the proportion in which children are assigned to low-risk and high-risk categories is reasonable from an early intervention standpoint. Classification accuracy describes the extent to which the model assigns children with vulnerability to the high-risk category (sensitivity) and children with no vulnerability to the low-risk category (specificity).
†Risk categories for vulnerability on each EDI domain were based on model-predicted probabilities of developmental vulnerability: low risk <10%, mid risk 10%–19%, high risk ≥20%). Risk categories for vulnerability on any EDI domain were based on model-predicted probabilities of developmental vulnerability: low risk <30%, mid risk 30%–44% and high risk ≥45%).
