Comparison of six depression rating scales in geriatric stroke patients.
Open accessAbstract
We compared three self-rating scales (the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Zung Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) with three examiner-rating scales (the Hamilton Rating Scale, the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression, and the Cornell Scale), to see which was best for 40 elderly (mean age 80 years) stroke patients, 17 of whom were depressed according to clinical examination. External validity and concurrent validity were good for all except the Cornell Scale. Reliability (internal consistency) showed that some items were not significantly correlated, which might be explained by our selection of the patients. The Geriatric Depression Scale, the Zung Scale, and the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression had the highest sensitivity, and the Zung Scale had the highest positive predictive value (93%). With regard to internal consistency, sensitivity, and predictive value, the best self-rating scales were the Geriatric Depression and the Zung scales and the best examiner-rating scale was the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression.

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.
