“…Our results are consistent with studies which have suggested the relative superiority of various versions of the BDI over the depression scale of the HADS in mixed somatic samples (Golden et al, 2007). The results are also at odds with the idea that all instruments should perform equally well in the medically ill (Williams et al, 2002).…”

“…Although the benefits of depression questionnaires for depression screening in the general population as well as in diabetic patients have been demonstrated previously [36,37], general depression questionnaires have not been widely used, given the low detection rate of 25% in diabetic patients [35]. Researchers may speculate about the reasons for this state of affairs.…”

“…To minimise this bias, we enhanced the sensitivity of the depression screening by using two depression questionnaires and inviting patients who screened positive in one of them to participate in the CIDI. Given the high sensitivity of both depression questionnaires [37], the independent probability of a false negative screening result is low (approximately <2%). Furthermore, diagnoses from the entry examination on hospital admission were checked to identify patients who were screened false negative.…”

How to screen for depression and emotional problems in patients with diabetes: comparison of screening characteristics of depression questionnaires, measurement of diabetes-specific emotional problems and standard clinical assessment

et al. 2006

Aims/hypothesis: We compared the screening performance of different measures of depression: the standard clinical assessment (SCA); the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI); the Center of Epidemiological StudiesDepression Scale (CES-D); and the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire, which assesses diabetesspecific distress. We also studied the ability of these measures to detect diabetes-related distress. Materials and methods: A total of 376 diabetic patients (37.2% type 1; 23.9% type 2 without insulin treatment, 38.8% type 2 with insulin) completed the BDI and CES-D; patients who screened positive participated in a diagnostic interview, the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Also, all patients completed the PAID questionnaire. Results of the SCA that related to depression diagnosis were reviewed to correct for false negative screening results. Results: The prevalence of clinical depression was 14.1%, with an additional 18.9% of patients receiving a diagnosis of subclinical depression. Sensitivity for clinical depression in SCA (56%) was moderate, whereas BDI, CES-D and the PAID questionnaire showed satisfactory sensitivity (87, 79 and 81%, respectively). For subclinical depression, the sensitivity of the PAID questionnaire (79%) was sufficient, whereas that of SCA (25%) was poor. All methods showed low sensitivity for the detection of diabetes-specific emotional problems (SCA 19%, CIDI 34%, BDI 60%, CES-D 49%). Conclusions/interpretation: The screening performance of SCA for clinical and subclinical depression was modest. Additional screening for depression using the PAID or another depression questionnaire seems reasonable. The ability of depression screening measures to identify diabetes-related distress is modest, suggesting that the PAID questionnaire could be useful when screening diabetic patients for both depression and emotional problems.

Normative data of the SF-12 health survey with validation using postmyocardial infarction patients in the Dutch population

Objective To gain Dutch population norms for the Short Form-12 (SF-12), a generic health status questionnaire, in a random sample of the general population and to validate these in postmyocardial infarction (MI) patients. Methods 2,301 respondents from the general population and 459 post-MI patients completed the Short Form-36 (SF-36), which was used to calculate SF-12 scores. Results The SF-12 summary scores correlated highly with SF-36 summary scores, demonstrating that these scores explain the same amount of variance in health status. Significant sex differences (P \ .001) existed for both the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS). Multivariate analysis of variance showed a main effect of age in oblique (PCS-12: P \ .001; MCS-12: P \ .001) and orthogonally rotated PCS scores (PCS-12_uc: P \ .001; MCS-12_uc: P = .07). As expected, post-MI patients reported statistically significant and clinically relevant poorer mental (P \ .001) and physical functioning (P \ .001). Differences were less pronounced for MCS and PCS derived from orthogonal rotation data. When controlling for covariates, MI did not significantly affect PCS-12_uc anymore in orthogonally rotated data, while PCS-12_uc was affected by fewer covariates compared with PCS-12. Conclusions This study presents Dutch population norms for the SF-12 in a large random population sample obtained from both oblique and orthogonal PCA rotation methods, revealing systematic differences between the results based on these two methods. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the discriminative validity of the SF-12 by showing that post-MI patients differ significantly from the normative population on PCS-12 scores.
