本研究旨在检验爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）作为尼日利亚妇女妊娠后期抑郁筛查工具的有效性。共有182名怀孕后期（32-36周）的妇女完成了EPDS的英文或约鲁巴语翻译版本，然后使用MINI国际神经精神病学访谈评估其中一部分人是否存在DSM-IV的严重和轻微抑郁症。结果发现，EPDS的临界值为10分是筛查重度和轻度抑郁症的最佳指标（敏感性= 0.867，特异性= 0.915，阳性结果的诊断似然比= 10.200）。当仅筛查重度抑郁症时，发现最合适的临界值为12（敏感性= 1.000，特异性= 0.961，阳性结果的诊断似然比= 25.641）。EPDS是筛查尼日利亚妇女怀孕后期抑郁症的有效和有用的工具。
This study aimed to examine the validity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) as a screening tool for depression in late pregnancy among Nigerian women. A total of 182 women in late pregnancy (32-36 weeks) completed either the English or the translated Yoruba language version of the EPDS and a proportion of them were then assessed for the presence of DSM-IV major and minor depressive disorders using the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview. A cutoff score of 10 on the EPDS was found to be the best for screening for both major and minor depression (sensitivity = 0.867, specificity = 0.915, Diagnostic Likelihood Ratio for a positive result = 10.200). When screening for major depression only, a cut-off of 12 was found to the most appropriate (sensitivity = 1.000, specificity = 0.961, Diagnostic Likelihood Ratio for a positive result = 25.641). The EPDS is a valid and useful instrument in screening for depression in late pregnancy among Nigerian women.
