Key result
Administering the Beck Depression Inventory-II during dialysis showed high agreement with off-dialysis assessment, with an optimal cut-off of ≥16 yielding 88.9% sensitivity and 87.1% specificity.

Does administering the Beck Depression Inventory-II while dialysing provide a viable screening procedure compared to off-dialysis assessment in haemodialysis patients?
Administering the Beck Depression Inventory-II while patients are dialysing is a viable and practical screening procedure for depression, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity.
Chilcot et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Haemodialysis (n=40). Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI) administered on-dialysis vs. BDI administered off-dialysis and clinical interview was evaluated on Level of agreement between on- and off-dialysis BDI assessments and diagnostic accuracy. Administering the Beck Depression Inventory-II during dialysis showed high agreement with off-dialysis assessment, with an optimal cut-off of ≥16 yielding 88.9% sensitivity and 87.1% specificity.
