Abstract
This study is an updated systematic review verifying whether the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a valuable screening tool for children and adolescents. Electronic searches were performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycArticles, using depression and CES-D as keywords. Fourteen studies that included 7,843 children and adolescents were analyzed. In the meta-analysis by CES-D type, the pooled sensitivity and specificity for the long version were 0.81 and 0.72, respectively; they were 0.80 and 0.74 for the short version, respectively. The summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curves were 0.83 and 0.86, respectively. Compared to the CES-D and other tools, the pooled sensitivity (0.84 vs. 0.83) and the pooled specificity (0.72 vs. 0.74) were similar, and the sROC curve was the same at 0.83. This review indicates that the CES-D is an available and valuable tool for screening depression in children and adolescents.
本研究是一项最新的系统综述,旨在验证流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(CES-D)是否为儿童和青少年的一种有价值的筛查工具。以抑郁症和CES-D为关键词,在MEDLINE、EMBASE、CINAHL和PsycArticles上进行电子检索。研究人员分析了包括7843名儿童和青少年在内的14项研究。在按CES-D类型进行的meta分析中,长版本的合并敏感性和特异性分别为0.81和0.72;短版本分别为0.80和0.74。总受试者工作特征曲线(sROC)分别为0.83和0.86。与CES-D和其他工具相比,合并敏感性(0.84 vs 0.83)和合并特异性(0.72 vs 0.74)相似,sROC曲线相同,均为0.83。这一综述表明,CES-D是筛查儿童和青少年抑郁症的一种有效且有价值的工具。
