To validate the Chinese version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) in Chinese people with epilepsy (PWE).
A consecutive cohort of PWE from the West China Hospital was recruited. Each patient received a psychiatric evaluation comprising the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and the GAD-7. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated and receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was conducted.
A total of 213 PWE completed the psychiatric evaluation. The GAD-7 was easily understood and quickly completed by all participants. Fifty patients (23.5%) had GAD according to the MINI criteria. Cronbach's α coefficient for the GAD-7 was 0.888. ROC analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.974 (95% CI=0.956-0.993). At a cut-off score of >6, the GAD-7 achieved the largest Youden index of 0.854 with a sensitivity of 94%, a specificity of 91.4%, a positive predictive value of 77% and a negative predictive value of 98%.
The Chinese version of the GAD-7 is a valuable tool for screening for GAD in Chinese PWE.
验证广泛性焦虑障碍-7(GAD-7)中文版在中国癫痫患者(PWE)中的有效性。
招募来自华西医院的连续队列PWE。每位患者接受包括迷你国际神经精神访谈(MINI)和GAD-7在内的精神科评估。收集人口统计学和临床特征。计算Cronbach's α系数并进行受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析。
共有213名PWE完成了精神科评估。所有参与者都能轻松理解并快速完成GAD-7。根据MINI标准,50名患者(23.5%)患有广泛性焦虑障碍。GAD-7的Cronbach's α系数为0.888。ROC分析显示曲线下面积为0.974(95%CI = 0.956 - 0.993)。在临界值>6时,GAD-7的约登指数最大,为0.854,敏感性为94%,特异性为91.4%,阳性预测值为77%,阴性预测值为98%。
GAD-7中文版是筛查中国PWE广泛性焦虑障碍的有价值工具。
