Identifying bereaved subjects at risk of complicated grief: Predictive value of questionnaire items in a cohort study

Table 2 ROC curve analysis on all scales and items on the dataset.

The area under the curve (AUC) was measured against the score of the Inventory of complicated Grief-Revised (ICG-R). A score of >= 43 six months after bereavement indicated complicated grief. Only variables with AUC>0.65 were considered for further analysis.
Item A, B and C: Single item questions on distress experienced in relation to the death of their relative (see text); BDI: Beck's Depression Inventory; HTQ: Harvard Trauma Questionnaire; CSS: Crisis Support Scale; CSQ: Coping Style Questionnaire (also tested based on its four subscales); SOC: Sense of Coherence; SWLS: Satisfaction with life scale; NEO: NEO Personality Inventory (tested based on the subscales).
