目的比较医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）和简明症状量表（BSI-18）在老年患者广泛性焦虑障碍（GAD）筛查中的应用结果HADS焦虑子量表是区分个体的唯一测量方法，有无GAD HADS焦虑子量表的临界点大于或等于8导致检测GAD. ConclusionsHADS焦虑子量表的敏感性为0.967，特异性为0.667，作为老年医疗患者焦虑症状的简短自我报告措施，HADS焦虑子量表似乎显示出一些优于BSI-18焦虑子量表的优势。版权所有© 2006约翰威利父子有限公司
ObjectiveTo compare two brief screening measures as tools for detecting generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) among older primary care patients.MethodsReceiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to compare the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Brief Symptom Inventory‐18 (BSI‐18) against GAD diagnoses obtained from a structured diagnostic interview.ResultsThe HADS Anxiety subscale was the only measure that distinguished individuals with and without GAD. A cutpoint greater than or equal to 8 on the HADS Anxiety subscale resulted in a sensitivity of 0.967 and a specificity of 0.667 for detecting GAD.ConclusionsThe HADS Anxiety subscale appears to show some advantages over the BSI‐18 Anxiety subscale as a brief, self‐report measure of anxiety symptoms among older medical patients.
