The 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a widely used depression screening tool, but has limited accuracy when applied across various cultural contexts. We aimed to evaluate the performance of alternative PHQ-9 scoring algorithms in sub-Saharan African PLWH.Setting: Five HIV programs ...

However, given that the PHQ-9 covers the whole range of diagnostic features of major depression, it is likely that it would also be responsive to antidepressants with different modes of action, for example, tricyclic antidepressants. Finally, our study was an open-label, noninterventional, post-...
As to its validity, the PHQ-9 score can be used in 2 ways to diagnose depression. The first is an algorithm-based diagnosis for major depression, with a cut-off score of 10. In 2015, Manea et al. [39] conducted a diagnosis meta-analysis of the PHQ-9 algorithm-based scoring method ...

The median score of each item was 0, with inter-quartile range of 0–1. The total score of PHQ-2 ranged from 0 to 6 with a median score of 0. Reliability and item analysis The PHQ-9 had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82, with the correlations between the total sc...
There were country differences on the summed scales, with UK and Ireland scoring significantly lower than Spain and Italy, though the effect size was very small. Initial analyses indicated that the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 items were good indictors of the depression and anxiety latent variables, ...
Furthermore, with regard to prevalence, a total of 53.4% with a previous ED, and 86.4% of individuals with a current ED, scored above the PHQ-9 depression screening cut-off score of 10 in the present study. As expected, the proportion of individuals with no lifetime ED history scoring ...
The diagnostic validity of the PHQ2 was only validated in 3 studies and showed wide variability in sensitivity.The PHQ9 is acceptable, and as good as longer clinician-administered instruments in a range of settings, countries, and populations. More research is needed to validate the PHQ2 to ...
We summarized the diagnostic test accuracy of the PHQ-9 using the algorithm scoring method across a range of validation studies and compared the diagnostic properties of the PHQ-9 using the algorithm and summed scoring method at the proposed cut-off point of 10.Manea, LauraGilbody, SimonMcMillan...
