摘要对某城市医疗中心313例老年康复住院患者的记录进行回顾性分析，以检验老年抑郁量表（GDS-SF）的诊断有效性。在以非裔美国人为主的医疗患者样本中，将GDS-SF的得分与认知完好者和认知受损者的30项表格（老年抑郁量表-长表格，GDS-LF）进行比较。结果表明，GDS的15项表是一种有效的筛查工具。这两种量表高度相关（r = 0.88），并且对于总样本和分割样本都显示出相似的敏感性和特异性。结果讨论了在筛选城市人口的情绪障碍。
ABSTRACT Record review in a sample of 313 geriatric rehabilitation in-patients at an urban medical center examined the diagnostic validity of the short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-SF). In a predominantly African American medical patient sample, scores on the GDS-SF were compared to the 30-item form (Geriatric Depression Scale-Long Form, GDS-LF) for both cognitively intact and cognitively impaired persons. Results suggest that the fifteen-item form of the GDS is a valid screening instrument for this population. The two scales were highly correlated (r = .88), and both demonstrated similar rates of sensitivity and specificity for the total and split samples. Results are discussed in terms of screening for mood disorders in the urban population.
