To assess the validity of the 12-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in screening for the most common postnatal psychiatric morbidities (mood, anxiety and adjustment disorders).
A two-phase cross-sectional study was designed. First, a sample of 1453 women visiting at 6 weeks postpartum completed the GHQ-12 and the EPDS questionnaires. Second, based upon EPDS outcomes, participants were stratified and randomly selected within each stratum for clinical evaluation [Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID)]. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used.
The concurrent validity was satisfactory (0.80). At optimum cut-off scores, both GHQ-12 and EPDS yielded very good sensitivity (80; 85.5) and specificity (80.4; 85.3), respectively. ROC curves showed that the performance of the EPDS (AUC=0.933) is slightly superior to that of GHQ-12 (AUC=0.904).
Both GHQ-12 and EPDS are valid instruments to detect postnatal depression as well as postnatal anxiety and adjustment disorders.
评估12项一般健康问卷(GHQ - 12)和爱丁堡产后抑郁量表(EPDS)在筛查最常见的产后精神疾病(情绪、焦虑和适应障碍)方面的有效性。
设计了一项两阶段横断面研究。首先,1453名产后6周就诊的女性样本完成了GHQ - 12和EPDS问卷。其次,根据EPDS结果,对参与者进行分层,并在各层内随机选择进行临床评估[DSM - IV结构化临床访谈(SCID)]。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)分析。
同时效度令人满意(0.80)。在最佳截断分数时,GHQ - 12和EPDS的敏感性分别非常好(80;85.5)和特异性(80.4;85.3)。ROC曲线显示,EPDS的表现(AUC = 0.933)略优于GHQ - 12(AUC = 0.904)。
GHQ - 12和EPDS都是检测产后抑郁以及产后焦虑和适应障碍的有效工具。
