To analyse the prevalence of GAD and other anxiety disorders, as well as sensitivity and specificity of GAD-7 among high utilizers of health care.
Four municipal health centres in Northern Finland.
A psychiatric interview was conducted for 150 high utilizers of health care.
Prevalence of GAD as well as sensitivity and specificity of GAD-7.
The prevalence of GAD was 4% in this study group of Finnish high utilizers of health care. The sensitivity of GAD-7 was 100.0% (95% CI 54.1-100.0) and the specificity of GAD-7 was 82.6% (95% CI 75.4-88.4) with a cut-off point of 7 or more.
GAD is rather common among high utilizers of primary care, although the prevalence of 4% is lower than that previously reported. GAD-7 is a valid and useful tool for detecting GAD among primary health care patients.
分析广泛性焦虑障碍(GAD)及其他焦虑症的患病率,以及GAD-7量表在高医疗服务利用率人群中的敏感性和特异性。
芬兰北部的四个市政卫生中心。
对150名高医疗服务利用率者进行了精神科访谈。
GAD的患病率以及GAD-7量表的敏感性和特异性。
在该芬兰高医疗服务利用率研究组中,GAD的患病率为4%。GAD-7量表的敏感性为100.0%(95%置信区间54.1 - 100.0),特异性为82.6%(95%置信区间75.4 - 88.4),临界值为7分及以上。
GAD在初级保健高医疗服务利用率者中相当常见,尽管4%的患病率低于先前报道。GAD-7量表是在初级卫生保健患者中检测GAD的有效且有用的工具。
