Year: 2013
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objective : The PDSQ is a brief and psychometrically strong self-report scale designed to screen for common DSM-IV Axis I disorders in clinical settings. In this study, the K-PDSQ was compared with the M.I.N.I.-Plus (Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview-Plus) for diagnostic validity and availability of the K-PDSQas a part of standardization of the K-PDSQ.\nMethods : The 640 patients were evaluated with the K-PDSQ and the M.I.N.I.-Plus. Diagnosing with theM.I.N.I.-Plus, the diagnostic correspondence, administering time, sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve, and AUC of the K-PDSQ were evaluated.\nResults : For the diagnostic correspondence of the K-PDSQ, Cohen’s kappa coefficient was .66 between the K-PDSQ and the M.I.N.I.-Plus. The administering time of the K-PDSQ was 18.2±11.80 minutes. Both sensitivity and specificity of the K-PDSQ were higher: the mean sensitivity across 10 subscales of K-PDSQ was 86%; the mean specificity was 84%. All AUCs of each subscale were above .80, which were statistically significant.\nConclusion : The K-PDSQ is valid and available as a diagnostic screening tool. It will be widely used in clinical settings for screening DSM-IV Axis I diagnosis because of its simplicity and high reliability. (Anxiety and Mood 2013;9(1):31-37)
