We compared three self-rating scales (the Geriatric Depression Scale, the
Zung Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) with
three examiner-rating scales (the Hamilton Rating Scale, the Comprehensive
Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression, and the Cornell Scale), to see
which was best for 40 elderly (mean age 80 years) stroke patients, 17 of
whom were depressed according to clinical examination. External validity
and concurrent validity were good for all except the Cornell Scale.
Reliability (internal consistency) showed that some items were not
significantly correlated, which might be explained by our selection of the
patients. The Geriatric Depression Scale, the Zung Scale, and the
Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression had the highest
sensitivity, and the Zung Scale had the highest positive predictive value
(93%). With regard to internal consistency, sensitivity, and predictive
value, the best self-rating scales were the Geriatric Depression and the
Zung scales and the best examiner-rating scale was the Comprehensive
Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression.
