Description
Summary:Depression is common in patients suffering from end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Various screening tools for depression in ESRD patients are available. This study aimed to validate the Beck Depression Inventory‐Fast Screen (BDI‐FS) with the Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II) as depression screening tool in conventional hemodialysis (CHD) patients. One hundred sixty two CHD patients were studied with both screening questionnaires. We used the Pearson Correlation Coefficient to measure the agreement between BDI‐II and BDI‐FS scores from 134 patients who responded to both questionnaires. Receiver operating characteristics curve and area under the curve were constructed to determine a valid BDI‐FS cutoff score to identify ESRD patients at risk for depression. BDI‐II and BDI‐FS scores strongly correlated (Pearson r = 0.85, p
