QIDS-SR16 ≥8 may aid prognostic assessment in non-dialysis CKD; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Does a QIDS-SR16 cutoff ≥8 predict death, dialysis, or hospitalization similarly to a clinician-based MDD diagnosis in outpatients with non-dialysis CKD?
A self-reported depression scale (QIDS-SR16) cutoff ≥8 provides similar prognostic information to a time-consuming clinician interview for predicting adverse outcomes in non-dialysis CKD patients.
