TL;DR
Although the SF-12 is a brief generic measure of HRQOL, these findings provide further evidence of the validity of theSF-12 and suggest that it may be a practical way to monitor health status from the perspective of the HIV-infected patient.

21,812 Citations1982J A Hanley, Barbara J. McNeil
A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

Twenty cross-sectional and longitudinal tests of empirical validity previously published for the 36-item short-form scales and summary measures were replicated for the 12-item Physical Component Summary and the12-item Mental Component Summary, including comparisons between patient groups known to differ or to change in terms of the presence and seriousness of physical and mental conditions.

This study compared the prognostic value of plasma viral load with that of clinical, serologic, and cellular markers in a large cohort of HIV-infected men and incorporated the two most predictive markers-plasma viral load and CD4+ lymphocyte count-into a regression tree that is useful for assessing the prognosis of individual patients.
