The scoring sheet includes nine questions, and each question has four answer options (0-3 points). The individual being assessed selects the answer that best reflects their own situation. The scores for each question are then summed up, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 27. The...
PHQ-9 scoring The PHQ-9 consists of nine questions that ask respondents how often they’ve “been bothered by any of the following problems” in the past two weeks. The questions address sleep, energy, appetite, and other possible symptoms of depression. Scores are calculated based on how fr...
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 ...

PHQ-9 SCORING CARD FOR SEVERITY For healthcare professional use only Scoring—add up all checked boxes on PHQ-9 For every 9 : Not at all = 0; Several days = 1; More than half the days = 2; Nearly every day = 3 Interpretation of Total Score Total Score 1-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 ...
We used the subtotal score of PHQ-9 items, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for comparison with the clinical diagnosis of suicide ideation using 95% confidence intervals for ...
n The tool rates the frequency of the symptoms which factors into the scoring severity index. n Question 9 on the PHQ-9 screens for the presence and duration of suicide ideation. n A follow up, non-scored question on the PHQ-9 screens and assigns weight to the degree to which depressive...
In terms of factor structure, a majority of existing studies recommend either a 1-factor model of depression or a 2-factor model with affective/cognitive (i.e., non-somatic) and somatic dimensions. The PHQ-9 is brief, freely available, and easy to score, has diagnostic utility as well ...
The score of 3 of PHQ-2 showed the highest Youden's index of 0.79, with both sensitivity and specificity were 0.90 and the AUC was 0.94 (95% CI: 0.90–0.97). Conclusions Both PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 are valid screening instruments for depression in the rural elderly in ...
Therefore, for both MDS measures, we investigated (1) the prevalence, (2) the percentages of overlap between these measures, and (3) the prevalence of single PHQ-9 depression symptoms and the mean and median PHQ-9 sum score. (4) Additionally, we examined the percentage of PHQ-MDS cases ...
