“…The 9 items corresponding to MADRS were considered ( • ▶ Table 1 ). In the study of K ø rner et al study [17] the individual items from HAM-D / MES were multiplied by 3 (depressed mood and gastro-intestinal symptoms) and the remaining by 1.5 to correspond to the original MADRS items which are scored on a Likert scale from 0 ~ 6 ( • ▶ Table 1 ). In our analysis we used the original HAM-D / MES Likert scales from 0 ~ 4 or 0 ~ 2 ( • ▶ Table 1 ).…”

“…In contrast to the HRSD, in which item selection was based on clinical experience, the development of the MADRS followed an empirical approach. The MADRS has been reliably rated by dif ferent research groups [Davidson et al, 1986;Korner et al, 1990;Maier et al, 1988b], and it has been consistently found to correlate highly with the HRSD [Dratcu et al, 1987;Hawley et al, 1998;Korner et al, 1990;Maier et al, 1988a;Mulder et al, 2003]. Its superiority to the HRSD as a more sensitive indicator of change in antidepressant efficacy trials has been challenged recently [Khan et al, 2002].…”

Standardized clinical outcome rating scale for depression for use in clinical practice

et al. 2005

The integration of research into clinical practice to conduct effectiveness studies faces multiple obstacles. One obstacle is the burden of completing research measures of outcome. A simple, reliable, and valid measure that could be rated at every visit, incorporated into a clinician's progress note, and reflect the DSM-IV definition of a major depressive episode (including partial and full remission from the episode) would enhance the ability to conduct effectiveness research. The goal of the present study was to examine the reliability and validity of such a measure. Three hundred and three psychiatric outpatients who were being treated for a DSM-IV major depressive episode were rated on the Standardized Clinical Outcome Rating for Depression (SCOR-D), 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and the Global Assessment of Functioning. We examined the correlation between the SCOR-D and the other measures, and conducted an analyses of variance to compare mean values on these measures for each rating point on the SCOR-D. The inter-rater reliability of the SCOR-D dimensional ratings and categorical determination of remission were high. The SCOR-D was highly correlated with the other scales, and there were significant differences on the other measures of depression severity between each adjacent rating level of the SCOR-D. The SCOR-D is a brief standardized outcome measure linked to the DSM-IV approach toward defining remission that can be incorporated into routine clinical practice without adding undue burden to the treating clinician with some evidence of reliability and validity. This measure could make it more feasible to conduct effectiveness studies in clinical practice.
