Triglycerides as a biological marker of repeated re-hospitalization resulting from deliberate self-harm in acute psychiatry patients: a prospective observational study

Table 5 Comparison of predictive values and likelihood ratios for the MINI and the MINI + OV ^a + SRS + TG for DSH-R patients

	Cut off	Sens	Spec	PPV	NPV	NNA	LR+	LR-
MINI (0-6)	3.5	0.78	0.75	0.30	0.96	3.3	2.9	0.24
MINI + OV^a + SRS + TG (0-14)	8.5	0.78	0.92	0.64	0.96	1.6	9.8	0.24

MINI = the MINI Suicidal Scale; OV = other significant variables; SRS = Self-report Scale; TG = triglycerides; Sens = sensitivity; Spec = specificity; PPV = positive predictive value; NPV = negative predictive value; NNA = number needed to assess; LR⁺ = positive likelihood ratio; LR- = negative likelihood ratio.
