RESUMEN
Fundamento: existen escasos cuestionarios de cribado de depresíón adecuadamente validados al castellano.Objetivo: adaptar y validar al castellano la versión abreviada de la Geriatric Depression Scale de Yesavage (GDS) para su uso en el cribado de depresiones
The sensitivity and specificity results are similar to results of other ultra-short GDS studies. The high reliability of these ultra-short versions leads us to recommend that new studies be run to enable these versions to be consolidated as a valid and very rapid option for diagnosing depression among the elderly.
