ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of the Chinese version of the Neurological Disorder Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (CNDDI-E) with that of the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (C-HADS-D) as screening tools for depression in the same patients with epilepsy (PWE).METHODS:
A total of 213 consecutive PWE were evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed using the C-NDDI-E and C-HADS-D as predictors and the Chinese version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (C-MINI) as the gold standard.RESULTS:
The area under the curve (AUC) for the C-NDDI-E was 0.870, and the optimal cutoff score was >11 (sensitivity 85.71%, specificity 79.78%); for the C-HADS-D, the AUC was 0.804, and the optimal cutoff score was >5 (sensitivity 85.71%, specificity 62.36%). The AUC for the C-NDDI-E was larger than the AUC for the C-HADS-D, but the comparison of the AUCs revealed no significant differences (Pâ¯=â¯0.1444).CONCLUSION:
Our findings indicate that the C-NDDI-E and C-HADS-D have high validity and support the use of these screening tools for depression in PWE. Moreover, the C-NDDI-E is a better screening scale for diagnosing depression than the C-HADS-D according to the results of this study.Palavras-chave
