Equivalency of the diagnostic accuracy of the PHQ-8 and PHQ-9: a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Background: Item 9 of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) queries about thoughts of death and self-harm, but not suicidality. Although it is sometimes used to assess suicide risk, most positive responses are not associated with suicidality. The PHQ-8, which omits Item 9, is thus increasingly used in research. We assessed equivalency of total score correlations and the diagnostic accuracy to detect major depression of the PHQ-8 and PHQ-9. Methods: We conducted an individual patient data meta-analysis. We fit bivariate random-effects models to assess diagnostic accuracy. Results: 16 742 participants (2097 major depression cases) from 54 studies were included. The correlation between PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 scores was 0.996 (95% confidence interval 0.996 to 0.996). The standard cutoff score of 10 for the PHQ-9 maximized sensitivity + specificity for the PHQ-8 among studies that used a semi-structured diagnostic interview reference standard (N = 27). At cutoff 10, the PHQ-8 was less sensitive by 0.02 (−0.06 to 0.00) and more specific by 0.01 (0.00 to 0.01) among those studies (N = 27), with similar results for studies that used other types of interviews (N = 27). For all 54 primary studies combined, across all cutoffs, the PHQ-8 was less sensitive than the PHQ-9 by 0.00 to 0.05 (0.03 at cutoff 10), and specificity was within 0.01 for all cutoffs (0.00 to 0.01). Conclusions: PHQ-8 and PHQ-9 total scores were similar. Sensitivity may be minimally reduced with the PHQ-8, but specificity is similar.

In a large meta-analysis primarily for studies of diverse health care patients, the PHQ-8 evidenced good sensitivity and specificity for detecting major depressive disorder, with similar psychometric qualities as the PHQ-9.
“In a large meta-analysis primarily for studies of diverse health care patients, the PHQ-8 evidenced good sensitivity and specificity for detecting major depressive disorder, with similar psychometric qualities as the PHQ-9 [56].”

The Results report 16,742 participants from 54 studies and PHQ-8 sensitivity and specificity of 0.86 at the optimal cutoff in studies using semi-structured interviews; the Discussion says its accuracy was similar to the PHQ-9’s. The Methods describe both medical and non-medical recruitment settings, but the passages in our copy do not establish that the studies were primarily of health care patients. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMeta-analytic work shows the PHQ-8 is practically equivalent to the original PHQ-9 measure.
“Although the PHQ-8 omits an item assessing suicidal ideation and self-harm, meta-analytic work shows this version is practically equivalent to the original PHQ-9 measure [68].”

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.
