Trial Outcomes & Findings for Predictive Executive Functioning Models Using Interactive Tangible-Graphical Interface Devices (NCT NCT01711372)

NCT ID: NCT01711372

Last Updated: 2019-12-03

Results Overview

ROC charts the false-positive (horizontal axis) and the sensitivity or true-positive rate (vertical axis) of the Groundskeeper game at discriminating child psychiatric patients with and without ADHD. Determines diagnostic accuracy of Groundskeeper game for ADHD. For each participant, predicted values were computed from the logistic regression models (correcting for age, sex and medication status). For each successive point on the logit scale sensitivity and specificity of the logit was computed as a predictor of ADHD diagnosis, by predicting those higher than the cut-point to have ADHD and the others not to have ADHD. These data were used to draw the ROC curve. ROC analysis summarized diagnostic efficiency with the area under the curve (AUC) statistic. The AUC ranges from 0.5 (for a diagnostically useless test) to 1.0 (for a diagnostic test that is a perfect predictor).

Participant Flow

Invited for participation consecutive patients referred to a child psychiatrist. From this cohort of patients, two groups formed. Patients who had received ADHD diagnosed and those who had not.

113 patients were screened for ADHD vs no ADHD. Those with ADHD were asked to not take stimulant medications for at least 3 days prior to participating. Company no longer exists and no longer has access to data collected. Only information in published study results available.

Measure
ADHD Group
Patients with ADHD played a go/no go task on Sifteo cubes to assess for attentional capabilities. Groundskeeper Game: The Groundskeeper game is a go/no-go task that captures reaction time and movement using the accelerometers and touch capabilities on the Sanvello cubes.
Control Group
Controls played a go/no go task on Sifteo cubes to assess for attentional capabilities. Groundskeeper Game: The Groundskeeper game is a go/no-go task that captures reaction time and movement using the accelerometers and touch capabilities on the Sanvello cubes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes

Population: Data from both participants with and without ADHD used in calculation of AUC of ROC. Diagnostic accuracy applies to both arm/groups of participants. Company no longer exists. Only information in published study results available.

Parent completed the Connors Brief rating Scale Parent Version, with the Inattention subscale extracted for analysis. Scores for this assessment are converted to percentile scores for each age group with higher scores indicating more likelihood of ADHD. ROC charts the false-positive rate (horizontal axis) and the sensitivity or true-positive rate (vertical axis) of discriminating child psychiatric patients with and without ADHD. Determines diagnostic accuracy of Conners Scale for ADHD. ROC analysis summarizes diagnostic efficiency with the area under the curve (AUC) statistic. The AUC ranges from 0.5 (for a diagnostically useless test) to 1.0 (for a diagnostic test that is a perfect predictor).
