Using supervised machine learning on neuropsychological data to distinguish OCD patients with and without sensory phenomena from healthy controls.

CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that different cognitive profiles may characterize patients motivated by distinct drives. The superior performance and generalizability of the newer algorithms highlights the utility of considering multiple analytic approaches when faced with complex data. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Practitioners should be aware that sensory phenomena are common experiences among patients with OCD. OCD patients with sensory phenomena may be distinguished from those without based on neuropsychological processes. PMID: 33300635 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
