Description
Summary:The evaluation of quality of life could be a useful indicator of depression in HIV patients. We compared the performance of three health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments for detecting depression. This nested case–control study included 200 HIV patients attended at an AIDS referral center. Depression was measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). We accessed HRQoL by SF-36v2, HAT-QoL, and WHOQOL-HIV Bref. The depression diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. SF-36v2 presented negative correlation with BDI score (− 0.72 to − 0.40), and HAT-QoL (− 0.66 to 0.05) and WHOQoL-HIV Bref (− 0.67 to 0.32) domains presented negative and positive correlations. Mental Health ( r  = − .71) and Mental Component Summary ( r  = − .72) showed high negative correlation with BDI. SF-36v2 showed excellent measure by the ROC curve analysis in four factors, and high correlation in Mental Health and MCS. Sf-36 may represent a useful tool for screening of depressive symptoms in HIV patients.
