Are the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) valid screening instruments for depression in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Both HADS and BDI are valid and comparable screening instruments for diagnosing depression in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Loosman et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (n=62). Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) vs. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was evaluated on Diagnosis of major depressive episode based on the MINI. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Beck Depression Inventory are valid screening tools for depression in ESRD patients, with sensitivities of 81.0% and 75.0% and specificity of 90.2%.
