कम्युनिस्टको नाममा कलंक: नेता र नेता पत्नी विमारी भए दिल्ली र सिँगापुरमा उपचार। न्यायको भिख माग्ने गंगामाया अनि दूरदराजका विपन्न जनताको स्वास्थसेवाका लागि निस्वार्थ लड्ने डा गोविन्द केसीलाई चाहिँ तिमीहरू मार्न चाहान्छौं। धिक्कार छ, तिमीहरूलाई। तिमीहरू कम्युनिस्टको नाममा कलंक हौ।

Our individual participant data meta-analysis found that using the PHQ-2 as a pre-screen for the PHQ-9 has similar accuracy to the PHQ-9 alone, but reduces the number of participants needing to complete the full PHQ-9 by 57%. ja.ma/2MW0A0R

Our study reports that using the PHQ-2 to prescreen patients before administering the full PHQ-9 reduces the number of patients to administer the full PHQ-9 by 57% AND provides similar accuracy to detect major depression compared to the full PHQ-9 alone. bit.ly/3f7iDwP

In an individual participant data meta-analysis of studies comparing PHQ scores w major depression diagnoses, combination PHQ-2 (cutoff 2) followed by PHQ-9 (cutoff 10) screening had similar sensitivity, higher specificity vs PHQ-9 alone (cutoff 10) ja.ma/3dJ5VnM

Our IPDMA on the PHQ-2 alone and in combination w the PHQ-9 was published in JAMA. The study, led by Dr. Levis, synthesized data from 100 studies(44,318 patients), found that the combination of PHQ-2 (cutoff 2) followed by the PHQ-9 (cutoff 10) had similar accuracy to PHQ-9 alone

We are excited to share that the study-Selective cutoff reporting in studies of the accuracy of the PHQ 9 and EPDS: Comparison of results based on published cutoffs vs. all cutoffs using IPDMA, led by ⁦Dipika Neupane⁩, has been published online! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mp…

The DEPRESSD Team is planning to host a series of webinars for project collaborators and other interested researchers and clinicians. Please see below for information regarding our FIRST WEBINAR given by Dipika Neupane and Brooke Levis.
