A cross-sectional study was made at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil to detect depression in 299 non-psychiatric inpatients in 2002. This study was similar to another one made in 1987. In order to detect depression, PRIME-MD and Beck Depression Inventory were used. After discharge from the hospital, a survey was made in patient records set down by physicians and nurses looking for references on depression symptoms and/or diagnosis. The prevalence of depression was 34.6% (PRIME-MD) and 20.1% (BDI). A comparison between the data from 1987 and 2002 showed the same pattern of under-diagnosis. The paper presents considerations and alternatives to this same deficiency detected once again.
2002年，在巴西阿雷格里港临床医院开展了一项横断面研究，以检测299名非精神科住院患者的抑郁情况。该研究与1987年进行的另一项研究相似。为了检测抑郁情况，使用了PRIME-MD和贝克抑郁量表。患者出院后，对医生和护士记录的病历进行了调查，以寻找有关抑郁症状和/或诊断的参考信息。抑郁的患病率为34.6%（PRIME-MD）和20.1%（BDI）。1987年和2002年的数据比较显示出相同的诊断不足模式。本文针对再次发现的这一相同缺陷提出了思考和应对方法。
