“…In a Dutch study, patients appeared to score highly for perceived stress, which was related to fatigue, even after the role of depression was partialled out [20]. In accordance with this, in a group of USA sarcoidosis patients, a high prevalence of stress was reported [1]. Moreover, the development of fatigue and depressive symptoms might be attributed to involvement of the central nervous system [21].…”

“…Fatigue has been examined in relation to psychological factors. In a recent study, a considerable number of sarcoidosis patients were diagnosed with depression, a major symptom of which is fatigue [1,19]. In a Dutch study, patients appeared to score highly for perceived stress, which was related to fatigue, even after the role of depression was partialled out [20].…”

“…Increased dyspnoea score and number of systems involved were among the risk factors for depression [19]. Cox et al [1] found that higher scores for depressive symptoms and perceived stress were related to lower health status scores. In accordance with this study, a Dutch study found that depressive symptoms and perceived stress were substantially related in sarcoidosis patients, and that sarcoidosis patients scored highly for perceived stress [20].…”

“…For instance, the mental health subscale score was related to (r ¼ À0.76) the CESD in a sample of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. 21 Previous studies in cancer survivors, 22 individuals with sarcoidosis 23 and family caregivers of stroke survivors 24 also reported stronger correlation of the mental health component scores to CESD than the physical health scores. The consistency of these findings with those of our study supports the notion that the CESD is valid for use with the SCI population.…”

Measurement properties of the CESD scale among individuals with spinal cord injury

Background: Depression is common after spinal cord injury (SCI), yet it can be difficult and costly to diagnose. Screening tools such as the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CESD) can assist with case identification; however, insufficient knowledge of their measurement properties exists to use them in the SCI population. Objectives: To assess the reliability and validity of the CESD-20 and the CESD-10. Setting: Tertiary care centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Methods: A 2-week retest study of 47 individuals with traumatic SCI. Subjects X19, who had their SCI for X1 year and had American Spinal Injury Association Impairment scale ranking of A or B. Short Form-36 (SF-36) subscales and a visual analogue scale for fatigue (VAS-F) were used to assess validity using Pearson's correlations coefficients. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots. Normative data are presented based on key demographic and clinical factors.
