Conclusion: The results suggest that the PHQ-9 appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure depression. The more parsimonious interpretation of its scores, for now, is a unidimensional structure. Comparison across sex appears to be useful in occupational health...

As shown in Fig. 2, the results of ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC for PHQ-9 was 0.898 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.859 ~ 0.937), which indicated that PHQ-9 possessed a good ability to identify depressive symptoms. When the cut-off scores were 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

Recently, item responses and total scores on depression screening scales have been reported to have characteristic distributions in the general population. The distributional pattern of responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in the general population has not been well studied. Thus, ...

There was major variability in sensitivity for cut-off scores between 7 and 15. There were no substantial differences in the pooled sensitivity and specificity for a range of cut-off scores (8-11). Interpretation: The PHQ-9 was found to have acceptable diagnostic properties for detecting major...
Interpretation This review shows that, if the algorithm scoring method is used, the PHQ-9 has a low sensitivity for detecting MDD. This could be due to the rating scale categories of the measure, higher specificity or other factors that warrant further research. The summed-item score method ...
