113名妇女的样本已被招募的爱丁堡邮政纳塔尔抑郁量表（EPDS）的意大利验证。这些妇女在分娩后第8周和第12周之间接受EPDS检查，并根据DSM-III-R标准使用MINI访谈进行诊断。在8/9临界值时，敏感性为94.4%，特异性为87.4%，PPV为58.6%。用Chronbach α系数（0.7894）和Guttman分半系数（0.8191）检验了EPDS意大利语版的内部一致性。最后，进行了受试者工作特征（ROC）分析，以评估量表的整体功能：ROC曲线下面积AUC为0.7470，阈值评分为11/12的logistic估计值拟合模型灵敏度为75%，模型特异性为67%。我们的数据证实了EPDS在识别产后抑郁症的有效性，也在其意大利版本和规模可以作为一个有用的工具，在临床实践中。(C)1999 Elsevier Science B.

A sample of 113 women has been recruited for the Italian validation of Edinburgh Post Natal Depression Scale (EPDS). These women, between the eighth and the twelfth week after delivery, were admnistered the EPDS and diagnosed according the DSM-III-R criteria using the MINI Interview. At the 8/9 cut-off score the sensitivity is 94.4%, specificity 87.4% and, PPV 58.6%. The internal consistency of the EPDS Italian version was tested using Chronbach's alpha coefficient (0.7894) and Guttman split-half coefficient (0.8191). Finally a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was carried out to evaluate the global functioning of the scale: the area under ROC curve AUC is 0.7470 and the logistic estimate for the threshold score of 11/12 fitted the model sensitivity at 75% and model specificity at 67%. Our data confirm the validity of EPDS in identifying postnatal depression also in its Italian version and the scale could be used as an useful instrument in the clinical practice.
