Measures of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values (PV+), probability of influence and diagnostic
reliability according to the IS stage in which the patients were identified. Cohen's d test shows
coefficients with a low effect diagnostic superiority level in cases with low IS and of medium effect in
SPs with moderate and high IS. The reliability measures recorded in all the contingency correlations
analyzed in the proposed scale showed statistically significant results (Fisher's test)
