Clinical versus patient-reported measures of depression in bariatric surgery.
This study examined the relationship between traditional clinical screening tools and a novel patient-reported depression screening survey, Patient Health Questionnaire 8 (PHQ-8), in the setting of the bariatric surgery preoperative assessment. The researchers found a higher rate of clinically diagnosed depression in their cohort compared to the general population. However, when using the validated PHQ-8 survey, the rate of depression more closely approximated the national incidence.
