โœฆ Synopsis

The validity of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) short form was assessed in a geriatric affective disorders outpatient clinic ( N = 116). The GDS was highly correlated with the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and with optimal cutoff scores of 5/6, demonstrated a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 74.0%. The GDS appears to be a useful, valid screening instrument in this population.

The performances of shorter versions of the Geriatric Depression scale (GDS) are examined. A cutoff of 4/5 gives the best sensitivity (80%) and specificity (77%) for the 15-item version (GDS15). A cutoff of 3/4 gives the best sensitivity (75%) and specificity (77%) for the 10-item version (GDSlO). A
