Psychiatric morbidity in patients with advanced cancer of the breast: prevalence measured by two self-rating questionnaires
Open accessAbstract
Two hundred and twenty-two women with advanced cancer of the breast were asked to complete two previously validated self-assessment questionnaires (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RSCL) in order to determine the prevalence and persistence of affective disorders in this group of patients. Fifty-six (27%) of 211 women who completed the HADS and 33 (22%) of 204 who completed the RSCL rated as probable cases of an anxiety state and/or depressive illness. One hundred and fifty-five patients completed the questionnaires again 1-3 months later. Twenty-one (13%) were persistently anxious or depressed as judged by the HADS compared with 14 (10%) on the RSCL. When both questionnaires were considered together, approximately one third of patients had scores suggestive of an affective disorder and in one third of these it was persistent. Only 30 patients (43% of cases) were detected as 'cases' by both questionnaires and this finding warrants further investigation.

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.
