Using the Children's Depression Inventory in youth with inflammatory bowel disease: support for a physical illness-related factor
Open accessAbstract
The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the factor structure of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to better understand the CDI's psychometric properties in a medically complicated population. An exploratory factor analysis was performed on CDI data collected from a clinical sample of 191 youth with IBD, aged 11 to 17 years. Exploratory factor analysis with quartimax rotation yielded 3 factors: mood, behavioral/motivational, and somatic complaints. Only the somatic factor (ie, fatigue, sleep, decreased appetite, and worry about aches and pain) showed a significant positive correlation with IBD severity. The CDI holds promise as a brief measure for the assessment of depressive features psychometrically independent of IBD severity and common steroid treatments as well as of nongastrointestinal specific somatic complaints in a sample of adolescents with IBD. Continued work in this area of research appears promising in honing the assessment of depressive and somatic symptoms in youths with IBD.

There are a myriad of mental health screening measures used, and few have been validated in an IBD population.
“there are a myriad of mental health screening measures used, and it is notable that few have been validated in an IBD population (38, 86).”

There was tremendous variability in measurement of anxiety and depression; 16 scales were used across the 66 unique studies examined in this systematic review and only two appear to have been validated in individuals with IBD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
