Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to validate the Chinese-Cantonese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and to compare it with the Hamilton Rating Scale of Depression (HRSD) as a screening tool for depressive disorders in general hospital in-patients. METHOD: The Chinese-Cantonese version of the HADS was administered to general hospital in-patients seen on a consultation basis, and psychiatric diagnoses were made according to DSM-III-R. The subjects were further rated independently with the HRSD. RESULTS: The Chinese-Cantonese version of the HADS was found to have good internal consistency and external validity, with favourable sensitivity and specificity for screening for psychiatric disorders. However, its performance was marginally inferior to that of the HRSD. The scale also performed poorly in identifying major depression. CONCLUSION: The HADS has limitations with regard to identification of depressive disorders. However, despite its shortcomings, it remains one of the best paper-and-pencil tests for screening psychiatric disorders in the medically ill.

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.
