Negative items: 1, 2, 3, 6 (no or not responses given maximum points)
Positive items: 4, 5 (full confidence given maximum points)
Scoring for each item from 0 to 100 in 10-point increments (essentially a 10 cm VAS).
final score =
= SUM(points for all 6 items) / 6
Interpretation:
• minimum score: 0
• maximum score: 100
• An athlete who returns to sport tends to have a higher score.
• A score >= 60 is associated with return to preinjury level of performance.
• A score < 39 is associated with not returning to sport.
Performance:
• The area under the ROC curve is 0.75.
