| Annotation | Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common in Chinese stroke patients, but little is known about the performance of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in screening for the condition. 100 Chinese geriatric patients with first-ever stroke, consecutively admitted to a rehabilitation facility, were assessed by occupational therapists using the depression subscale of the HADS. Psychiatric diagnoses, which served as the benchmark for judging the usefulness of the HADS in screening PSD, were made using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID-DSM-III-R), supplemented by all available clinical information. Overall, the HADS did not appear to be a useful tool in screening for PSD in older Chinese people. (RH). |
