This study investigated the optimal cutoff points of three psychological tools for screening psychiatric disorders in women with high-risk pregnancy.
In this cross-sectional study (N = 155), ensitivity/specificity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the Brief Symptom Inventory 53-items (BSI-53), and the BSI-18 were computed with respect to having a psychiatric diagnosis based on the clinical interview.
The usual cutoffs (≥13 for EPDS, T-score of 63 for BSI-53) demonstrated poor diagnostic accuracy. The optimal thresholds were computed for EPDS cutoff of 6.5, GSI = 0.47 for BSI-53, and GSI = 0.5 for BSI-18.
The use of psychological tools among pregnant women with high-risk pregnancy may need to be modified in order to accurately identify psychiatric disorders.
本研究调查了三种心理工具用于筛查高危妊娠女性精神障碍的最佳切点。
在这项横断面研究(N = 155)中,根据临床访谈得出的精神科诊断,计算爱丁堡产后抑郁量表(EPDS)、53项简明症状量表(BSI-53)和18项简明症状量表(BSI-18)的敏感性/特异性。
常用切点(EPDS≥13,BSI-53的T分数为63)显示出较差的诊断准确性。计算得出的最佳阈值为:EPDS切点为6.5,BSI-53的总体严重程度指数(GSI)=0.47,BSI-18的GSI = 0.5。
为了准确识别精神障碍,高危妊娠孕妇使用心理工具的方式可能需要调整。
